"The version of Kibana installed on the remote host is prior to 8.19.10, 9.1.10, or 9.2.4. It is, therefore, affected 
by a vulnerability as referenced in the ESA_2026_08 advisory.

  - An improper input validation vulnerability in Kibana's Email Connector can allow an attacker to cause 
    an excessive allocation through a specially crafted email address parameter. This requires an attacker 
    to have authenticated access with view-level privileges sufficient to execute connector actions. 
    Successful exploitation results in complete service unavailability for all users until a manual restart 
    is performed. This affects all Kibana 7.x versions, 8.x versions from 8.0.0 to 8.19.9, 9.x versions from 
    9.0.0 to 9.1.9, and 9.2.0 to 9.2.3. (CVE-2026-0543)

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