Missing Authorization (CWE-862) in Kibana’s server-side Detection Rule Management can lead to Unauthorized Endpoint Response Action Configuration (host isolation, process termination, and process suspension) via CAPEC-1 (Accessing Functionality Not Properly Constrained by ACLs). This requires an authenticated attacker with rule management privileges.
