Synopsis

Kibana < 5.6.15 Multiple Vulnerabilities

Description

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.
