Overview

kibana is an open source (Apache Licensed), browser-based analytics and search dashboard for Elasticsearch.

Affected versions of this package are vulnerable to Uncontrolled Recursion via the intervals query. An attacker can cause the exhaustion of the thread stack and terminate the node process by submitting a deeply nested pattern in a search request.

Note: This is only exploitable if the attacker is an authenticated user with read-only privileges on a searchable index.
