**Server-Side Request Forgery (SSRF) in Kibana Leading to Unauthorized Network Access**

Server-Side Request Forgery (CWE-918) in Kibana allows authenticated users with connector management privileges to bypass the operator-configured connection allowlist. By configuring a Webhook connector with a crafted target, an attacker can cause Kibana to issue outbound requests to destinations that the egress restriction controls were intended to block.

**Affected Versions:**

- 9.x:
  - All versions from 9.0.0 up to and including 9.2.7
  - All versions from 9.3.0 up to and including 9.3.1

**Affected Configurations:**

- Kibana deployments where the `xpack.actions.allowedHosts` setting is configured to restrict outbound connector connections (i.e., not set to the wildcard value) and where users have been granted connector management privileges are affected.

**Solutions and Mitigations:**

The issue is resolved in versions 9.2.8, and 9.3.2.

**Elastic Cloud Serverless**
