9.5.3. It is, therefore, affected by a vulnerability as referenced in the ESA-2026-139 advisory.

  - Missing Authorization (CWE-862) in Kibana can lead to unauthorized deletion of data via Exploiting
    Incorrectly Configured Access Control Security Levels (CAPEC-180). An authenticated user holding
    Synthetics privileges scoped to a single Kibana space could permanently delete Synthetics monitors that
    are shared into spaces they have no access to. Where a monitor is associated with a private location, the
    same operation also destroys the underlying Elastic Agent integration configuration without the
    authorization checks that Fleet would otherwise apply. (CVE-2026-78582)

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