affected by a vulnerability as referenced in the ESA-2026-149 advisory.

  - Missing Authorization (CWE-862) in Kibana can lead to information disclosure via Exploiting Incorrectly
    Configured Access Control Security Levels (CAPEC-180). An authenticated user holding minimal Elasticsearch
    privileges could bypass Kibana feature authorization and space access controls, resulting in the unauthorized
    disclosure of Fleet deployment metadata from the default Kibana space. (CVE-2026-78603)

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