Synopsis

The remote host is affected by a denial of service vulnerability.

Description

The version of Kibana installed on the remote host is 8.x prior to 8.19.19, or 9.3.x prior to 9.3.8, or 9.4.x prior to 9.4.4. It is, therefore, affected by a vulnerability as referenced in the ESA-2026-63 advisory.

- Uncontrolled Resource Consumption (CWE-400) in Kibana can lead to denial of service via Excessive Allocation (CAPEC-130). An authenticated low-privileged user can exploit an uncontrolled resource consumption vulnerability in Kibana's Canvas functionality by sending a specially crafted request, causing the Kibana server process to terminate and resulting in a denial of service for all users of the affected Kibana instance. (CVE-2026-63139)

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

Solution

Update to Kibana version 8.19.19, 9.3.8, 9.4.4 or later.
