Kibana 8.15.x < 8.17.3 (ESA_2025_06)

high Nessus Plugin ID 232287

Synopsis

The remote host is missing a security update.

Description

The version of Kibana installed on the remote host is prior to 8.17.3. It is, therefore, affected by a vulnerability as referenced in the ESA_2025_06 advisory.

- Prototype pollution in Kibana leads to arbitrary code execution via a crafted file upload and specifically crafted HTTP requests. In Kibana versions >= 8.15.0 and < 8.17.1, this is exploitable by users with the Viewer role. In Kibana versions 8.17.1 and 8.17.2 , this is only exploitable by users that have roles that contain all the following privileges: fleet-all, integrations-all, actions:execute-advanced-connectors (CVE-2025-25012)

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

Solution

Upgrade to Kibana version 8.17.3 or later.
