Summary
Improper Validation of Specified Quantity in Input (CWE-1284) in the Timelion visualization plugin in Kibana can lead Denial of Service via Excessive Allocation (CAPEC-130). The vulnerability allows an authenticated user to send a specially crafted Timelion expression that overwrites internal series data properties with an excessively large quantity value.
