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 with read-only privileges to the alerting feature could submit a specially crafted, malformed payload that causes the Kibana process to consume excessive resources. A single request is sufficient to leave Kibana unable to serve requests for all users until the process is restarted.
