vulnerability as referenced in the ESA-2026-161 advisory.
- Observable Response Discrepancy (CWE-204) in the Kibana Osquery feature can lead to information disclosure
via Query System for Information (CAPEC-54). An authenticated user holding Osquery live-query privileges
could determine whether a scheduled query identifier exists in a Kibana space they are not authorized to
access. (CVE-2026-78584)
Note that Nessus has not tested for this issue but has instead relied only on the application's self-reported
version number.");
