Overview

kibana is an open source (Apache Licensed), browser based analytics and search dashboard for Elasticsearch. Kibana is a snap to setup and start using. Kibana strives to be easy to get started with, while also being flexible and powerful, just like Elastic.

Affected versions of the package are vulnerable to Cross-site Scripting (XSS) via the tag cloud visualization that could allow an attacker to obtain sensitive information from or perform destructive actions on behalf of other Kibana users.
