"The version of Kibana installed on the remote host is 9.1.x prior to 9.4.5. It is, therefore, affected by multiple
vulnerabilities as referenced in the ESA-2026-89 and ESA-2026-97 advisories.
- The Elastic Security capability that suggests existing field values while a user authors endpoint policy
artifacts queries Elastic Defend event data with Kibana's internal Elasticsearch account instead of the
account of the requesting user. Only Kibana feature privileges are verified, and the caller's Elasticsearch
index privileges are not. An authenticated user who holds Elastic Security feature privileges but no read
access to the Elastic Defend event indices can therefore retrieve field values from that data, including
process command line arguments, which commonly contain tokens, credentials, connection strings, and other
sensitive operational detail from protected hosts. (CVE-2026-72672)
- Authorization Bypass Through User-Controlled Key (CWE-639) in Kibana can lead to unauthorized query
execution against Elastic Agents that are assigned to a Kibana space the requesting user has no access to,
via Accessing Functionality Not Properly Constrained by ACLs (CAPEC-1). A user who is authorized to run
Osquery live queries in one space can have a query carried out on hosts belonging to another space,
resulting in disclosure of information from those hosts to the Osquery results data stream.
(CVE-2026-72666)
Note that Nessus has not tested for these issues but has instead relied only on the application's self-reported
version number.");
