therefore, affected by a vulnerability as referenced in the ESA-2026-193 advisory.

  - Incorrect Authorization (CWE-863) in Kibana can lead to sensitive information disclosure via Accessing
    Functionality Not Properly Constrained by ACLs (CAPEC-1). An authenticated Kibana user with limited Fleet
    management privileges could access sensitive credential material that should be restricted to users with
    Fleet settings administrative access. Successful exploitation could allow an attacker to obtain private
    cryptographic key material configured for Fleet Server host connections, potentially enabling
    impersonation of trusted Fleet infrastructure components in deployments where those keys are actively
    used. (CVE-2026-102412)
