by a vulnerability as referenced in the ESA-2026-20 advisory.

  - Improper Validation of Specified Quantity in Input (CWE-1284) in the Timelion visualization plugin in Kibana
    can lead Denial of Service via Excessive Allocation (CAPEC-130). The vulnerability allows an authenticated
    user to send a specially crafted Timelion expression that overwrites internal series data properties with an
    excessively large quantity value. (CVE-2026-26940)

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