Kibana versions before 6.6.1 contain an arbitrary code execution flaw in the security audit logger. If a Kibana instance has the setting xpack.security.audit.enabled set to true, an attacker could send a request that will attempt to execute javascript code. This could possibly lead to an attacker executing arbitrary commands with permissions of the Kibana process on the host system.

According to its self-reported version number, the Kibana application running on the remote host is prior to 5.6.15 or 6.x prior to 6.6.1. It is, therefore, affected by the following vulnerabilities:

 - A cross-site scripting (XSS) vulnerability that could allow an attacker to obtain sensitive information from or perform destructive actions on behalf of other Kibana users. (CVE-2019-7608)

 - An arbitrary code execution flaw in the Timelion visualizer. An attacker with access to the Timelion application could send a request that will attempt to execute javascript code. This could possibly lead to an attacker executing arbitrary commands with permissions of the Kibana process on the host system. (CVE-2019-7609)

 - An arbitrary code execution flaw in the security audit logger. If a Kibana instance has the setting xpack.security.audit.enabled set to true, an attacker could send a request that will attempt to execute javascript code. This could possibly lead to an attacker executing arbitrary commands with permissions of the Kibana process on the host system. (CVE-2019-7610)

Note that the scanner has not tested for these issues but has instead relied only on the application's self-reported version number.

Kibana versions before 5.6.15 and 6.6.1 have the following vulnerabilities:
