affected by a denial of service vulnerability:

  - Allocation of Resources Without Limits or Throttling (CWE-770) in Kibana can lead to a denial of service. An
    authenticated user can submit a specially crafted bulk deletion request that causes excessive resource consumption,
    which may render Kibana unavailable. (CVE-2026-49087)

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