Overview

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

Affected versions of this package are vulnerable to Insertion of Sensitive Information into Log File when logging in to the JSON layout or when the pattern layout is configured to log the %meta pattern. An attacker can gain unauthorized access and retrieve sensitive data, such as authentication credentials, cookies, authorization headers, query params, request paths, and other metadata, by exploiting the error object recorded in the log.
