Synopsis

The remote host is missing a security update.

Description

The version of Kibana installed on the remote host is between 8.6.3 and 8.13.4. It is, therefore, affected by a vulnerability as referenced in the ESA-2024-15 advisory.

- A flaw was discovered in Kibana, allowing view-only users of alerting to use the run_soon API making the alerting rule run continuously, potentially affecting the system availability if the alerting rule is running complex queries.
