Overview

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

Affected versions of this package are vulnerable to Incorrect Authorization via the Entity Analytics Watchlist. An attacker can modify configuration data and access information beyond their authorized scope by leveraging low-privileged authenticated access to perform write operations intended for higher privilege levels. This is only exploitable if the deployment allows read-only Security Solution users to interact with watchlist data.
