"The version of Kibana installed on the remote host is 9.3.x prior to 9.4.9, or 9.5.x prior to 9.5.6. It is, therefore,
affected by a vulnerability as referenced in the ESA-2026-205 advisory.

  - Improper Limitation of a Pathname to a Restricted Directory (CWE-22) in the Kibana Fleet feature can lead
    to unauthorized resource deletion via Path Traversal (CAPEC-126). A low-privileged user with Fleet agent
    policies write access could cause a subsequent administrative action to act on unintended resources. This
    can result in the deletion of resources such as Kibana spaces and other organizational assets that the
    low-privileged user cannot delete directly. Exploitation requires an administrator to interact with the
    affected Fleet interface. (CVE-2026-115294)
