"The version of Kibana installed on the remote host is 9.1.x prior to 9.4.6, or 9.5.x prior to 9.5.2. It is,
therefore, affected by a vulnerability as referenced in the ESA-2026-130 advisory.
- Incorrect Authorization (CWE-863) in Kibana Entity Analytics can lead to a loss of security monitoring via
Accessing Functionality Not Properly Constrained by ACLs (CAPEC-1). An authenticated user holding only
read-level Security feature access, and no Elasticsearch privileges, could stop the recurring Privilege
Monitoring engine task for a Kibana space. Privileged user monitoring then stops producing data for that
space while the engine continues to report a healthy state to operators. (CVE-2026-72633)
Note that Nessus has not tested for this issue but has instead relied only on the application's self-reported
version number.");
