"The version of Kibana installed on the remote host is 9.1.7 or later prior to 9.4.5, or 9.5.x prior to 9.5.1. It is,
therefore, affected by a vulnerability as referenced in the ESA-2026-115 advisory.

  - Uncaught Exception (CWE-248) in Kibana can lead to a denial of service via Input Data Manipulation
    (CAPEC-153). An authenticated user holding only the low-privileged feature access required to use the
    Observability AI Assistant can submit a specially crafted request that produces an unhandled error
    condition, terminating the Kibana process and denying service to all users and spaces on that instance
    until it is restarted. (CVE-2026-72644)

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