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

Allocation of Resources Without Limits or Throttling (CWE-770) in Kibana can lead to denial of service via Excessive Allocation (CAPEC-130). An authenticated user who is authorized to manage maintenance windows could submit a specially crafted, malformed payload that causes the Kibana process to consume excessive resources. Kibana becomes unresponsive for all users and does not recover without manual intervention.
