Elastic Kibana 7.13.0 < 7.17.16, 8.0 < 8.11.2 Information Disclosure (ESA-2023-27)

medium Nessus Plugin ID 187123

Language:

Synopsis

The remote web server hosts a Java application that is affected by an information disclosure vulnerability.

Description

The version of the Elastic Kibana instance on the remote host is 7.13.0 prior to 7.17.16 or 8.0 prior to 8.11.1. It is, therefore, affected by an information disclosure vulnerability. In the event of an infrequent error returned from an Elasticsearch cluster, in cases where there is user interaction and an unhealthy cluster, sensitive information may be recorded in Kibana logs within the error message. The error message may contain account credentials for the kibana_system 67 user, API Keys, and credentials of Kibana end-users. Note: It was found that the fix for ESA-2023-25 in Kibana 8.11.1 for a similar issue was incomplete.

Note that Nessus has not tested for the issue but has instead relied only on the application's self-reported version number.

Solution

Upgrade to Kibana version 7.17.16, 8.11.2, or later.
