With X-Pack installed, Kibana versions 5.0.0 and 5.0.1 were not properly authenticating requests to advanced settings and the short URL service, any authenticated user could make requests to those services regardless of their own permissions.
The product does not perform any authentication for functionality that requires a provable user identity or consumes a significant amount of resources.
Weaknesses in this category are related to the management of permissions, privileges, and other security features that are used to perform access control.
