"The version of Kibana installed on the remote host is 9.2.x prior to 9.4.5. It is, therefore, affected by a
vulnerability as referenced in the ESA-2026-82 advisory.
- Kibana Agent Builder A2A JSON-RPC API endpoint derives the identifier of a stored conversation from a
user-supplied input, and the ownership check on that identifier does not distinguish between a conversation
that does not exist and one that exists but belongs to another user. As a result, an authenticated user
holding only the Agent Builder read privilege can supply an identifier already in use by another user in the
same space and cause that user's conversation to be replaced and reassigned to the requesting account. The
original owner permanently loses access to the conversation and its history. (CVE-2026-72680)
Note that Nessus has not tested for this issue but has instead relied only on the application's self-reported
version number.");
