CVE-2019-7610: Elastic Kibana

Critical severity, CVSS 9.0. EPSS: 3.9% chance of exploitation in the next 30 days.

Kibana versions before 6.6.1 contain an arbitrary code execution flaw in the security audit logger. If a Kibana instance has the setting xpack.security.audit.enabled set to true, an attacker could send a request that will attempt to execute javascript code. This could possibly lead to an attacker executing arbitrary commands with permissions of the Kibana process on the host system.

Affected products

• Elastic Kibana: before 5.6.15 (fixed in 5.6.15); from 6.0.0, before 6.6.1 (fixed in 6.6.1)
