Description

The version of the Elastic Kibana instance on the remote host is 8.x prior to 8.11.1. It is, therefore, affected by an information disclosure vulnerability.

The error message may contain account credentials for the kibana_system 67 user, API Keys, and credentials of Kibana end-users.

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

Users should upgrade to Kibana version 8.11.1
