"The version of Kibana installed on the remote host is 8.x prior to 8.19.22, or 9.4.x prior to 9.4.6. It is, therefore,
affected by a vulnerability as referenced in the ESA-2026-103 advisory.
- Authorization Bypass Through User-Controlled Key (CWE-639) in Kibana can lead to unauthorized disclosure,
modification, and deletion of data via Accessing Functionality Not Properly Constrained by ACLs (CAPEC-1).
An authenticated user granted the Timeline feature privilege in a Kibana space could enumerate, read,
modify, and delete draft Timeline objects belonging to other users in the same space. Read access is
sufficient for enumeration and disclosure; the Timeline write privilege is required for modification and
deletion. (CVE-2026-72662)
Note that Nessus has not tested for this issue but has instead relied only on the application's self-reported version
number.");
