Official description

Operation on a Resource after Expiration or Termination (CWE-672) in Kibana can lead to unauthorized information disclosure. A logic error in how expiration timestamps were validated allowed a time-bounded access token to remain usable beyond its intended validity window, enabling an unauthenticated actor in possession of the token to retrieve the associated content after expiration.
