  - Incorrect authorization in Kibana can lead to privilege escalation via the built-in reporting_user role 
    which incorrectly has the ability to access all Kibana Spaces. (CVE-2025-25010)

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