medium Web App Scanning Plugin ID 114638

Synopsis

Kibana 7.x < 7.17.23 Denial Of Service

Description

According to its self-reported version number, the Kibana application running on the remote host is 7.x prior to 7.17.23 or 8.x prior to 8.14.0. It is, therefore, affected by a Denial Of Service by sending a large number of maliciously crafted requests to a specific endpoint.

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

Solution

Upgrade to Kibana version 7.17.23 or later.
