Elastic kibana-detection (security alert-triage) — agentic threat model

6.9AIVSS 6.9 · Medium

This agent acts as an automated triage assistant within Elastic Security, possessing read access to sensitive detection and alert data. While it does not appear to execute destructive actions or write operations directly, its integration into security workflows makes it a high-value target for indirect prompt injection and alert manipulation.

OWASP AIVSS score rationale

AIVSS = (CVSS_Base + AARS) × Mitigation_Factor, where AARS = (10 − CVSS_Base) × (Factor_Sum / 10) × ThM

MAESTRO 7-layer threat model

Per-layer threats for this agent. Layers tagged “not certain from listing” are general, caveated commentary where the public description didn’t pin that layer.

L1 · Foundation Models⚠ not certain from listing

Not certain from the listing — the underlying foundation model is not specified. The primary L1 risk is indirect prompt injection, where malicious payloads embedded within ingested security alerts or log data reprogram the model to misclassify, deprioritize, or ignore active threats.

L2 · Data Operations✓ mapped

The agent reads detection and alert data directly from the user's Elastic deployment. This introduces risks of data poisoning (adversaries crafting specific log events to skew correlation logic) and unauthorized data exposure if the agent's context window leaks sensitive alert details.

L3 · Agent Frameworks✓ mapped

The agent encodes triage workflows over the Security app, implying tool integration to pull alerts and correlate signals. Vulnerabilities in the orchestration framework could allow an attacker to manipulate the tool-calling parameters or bypass triage logic entirely.

L4 · Deployment & Infrastructure⚠ not certain from listing

Not certain from the listing — the hosting environment (Elastic Cloud vs. self-hosted Kibana) is unspecified. The agent requires network access to the Elastic deployment and API keys/tokens to read alert data, which must be securely stored and sandboxed to prevent credential theft.

L5 · Evaluation & Observability⚠ not certain from listing

Not certain from the listing — there are no details on how the agent's triage decisions are logged, audited, or evaluated for drift. A lack of observability could allow silent failures or adversarial manipulation of priority scores to go unnoticed by human analysts.

L6 · Security & Compliance (cross-cutting)✓ mapped

The agent must adhere to strict Role-Based Access Control (RBAC) within the Elastic Security app. If the agent's identity is over-privileged, it could expose sensitive index data beyond what the active human analyst is authorized to view.

L7 · Agent Ecosystem⚠ not certain from listing

Not certain from the listing — while described as an 'Elastic Agent Skill', it is unclear if it interacts with other specialized security agents. If multi-agent workflows are supported, cascading trust failures could occur if a compromised agent feeds falsified triage data to this agent.
