Overview

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

Affected versions of this package are vulnerable to Missing Authorization via the managment of onboarding flow state. An attacker can access and modify onboarding data of other users by sending crafted requests to the relevant routes. This may result in unauthorized disclosure of user-specific information and alteration of onboarding progress, potentially causing errors in the onboarding view for affected users.
