  - Missing Authorization (CWE-862) in Kibana's server-side Detection Rule Management can lead to Unauthorized
    Endpoint Response Action Configuration (host isolation, process termination, and process suspension) via
    CAPEC-1 (Accessing Functionality Not Properly Constrained by ACLs). This requires an authenticated attacker
    with rule management privileges. (CVE-2026-26939)

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