No vendor fix yet — apply a workaround or compensating control (WAF / firewall / segmentation) and watch for a patch.

Incorrect Authorization (CWE-863) in Kibana can lead to unauthorized modification of data via Accessing Functionality Not Properly Constrained by ACLs (CAPEC-1). An authenticated user holding only Security Solution read access in a Kibana space could enumerate and change the state of Entity Store maintainer tasks, silently disabling Entity Analytics maintenance for that space.
