Upgrade kibana to version 9.4.5 or higher.
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 due to the suggested existing field values while a user authors endpoint policy artifacts, which queries event data using internal privileges instead of those of the requesting user. An attacker can access sensitive operational details, such as process command line arguments containing tokens, credentials, and connection strings, by leveraging feature privileges without having direct read access to the relevant event indices.
