"The version of Kibana installed on the remote host is prior to 8.17.3. It is, therefore, affected by a vulnerability as
referenced in the ESA_2025_06 advisory.

  - Prototype pollution in Kibana leads to arbitrary code execution via a crafted file upload and specifically
    crafted HTTP requests.  In Kibana versions >= 8.15.0 and < 8.17.1, this is exploitable by users with the
    Viewer role. In Kibana versions 8.17.1 and 8.17.2 , this is only exploitable by users that have roles that
    contain all the following privileges: fleet-all, integrations-all, actions:execute-advanced-connectors
    (CVE-2025-25012)

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