"The version of Kibana installed on the remote host is 8.x prior to 8.19.19, or 9.3.x prior to 9.3.8, or 9.4.x prior
to 9.4.4. It is, therefore, affected by a vulnerability as referenced in the ESA-2026-63 advisory.

  - Uncontrolled Resource Consumption (CWE-400) in Kibana can lead to denial of service via Excessive
    Allocation (CAPEC-130). An authenticated low-privileged user can exploit an uncontrolled resource
    consumption vulnerability in Kibana's Canvas functionality by sending a specially crafted request, causing
    the Kibana server process to terminate and resulting in a denial of service for all users of the affected
    Kibana instance. (CVE-2026-63139)

Note that Nessus has not tested for this issue but has instead relied only on the application's self-reported version
number.");
