Overview
kibana is an open source (Apache Licensed), browser-based analytics and search dashboard for Elasticsearch.
Affected versions of this package are vulnerable to Execution with Unnecessary Privileges in the Fleet plugin debug route handlers.

This is only exploitable if the attacker is an authenticated user with Fleet sub-feature privileges, such as agents, agent policies, or settings management.
