Kibana versions 5.1.1 to 6.1.2 and 5.6.6 had a cross-site scripting (XSS) vulnerability via the colored fields formatter that could allow an attacker to obtain sensitive information from or perform destructive actions on behalf of other Kibana users.
The fix in Kibana for ESA-2017-23 was incomplete. With X-Pack security enabled, Kibana versions before 6.1.3 and 5.6.7 have an open redirect vulnerability on the login page that would enable an attacker to craft a link that redirects to an arbitrary website.
Kibana versions after 6.1.0 and before 6.1.3 had a cross-site scripting (XSS) vulnerability in labs visualizations that could allow an attacker to obtain sensitive information from or perform destructive actions on behalf of other Kibana users.
Kibana versions after 5.1.1 and before 5.6.7 and 6.1.3 had a cross-site scripting (XSS) vulnerability in the tag cloud visualization that could allow an attacker to obtain sensitive information from or perform destructive actions on behalf of other Kibana users.
X-Pack Security versions 6.2.0, 6.2.1, and 6.2.2 are vulnerable to a user impersonation attack via incorrect XML canonicalization and DOM traversal. An attacker might have been able to impersonate a legitimate user if the SAML Identity Provider allows for self registration with arbitrary identifiers and the attacker can register an account which an identifier that shares a suffix with a legitimate account. Both of those conditions must be true in order to exploit this flaw.
Elasticsearch before 1.6.1 allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary code via unspecified vectors involving the transport protocol. NOTE: ZDI appears to claim that CVE-2015-3253 and CVE-2015-5377 are the same vulnerability
Kibana versions prior to 6.0.1 and 5.6.5 had a cross-site scripting (XSS) vulnerability via URL fields that could allow an attacker to obtain sensitive information from or perform destructive actions on behalf of other Kibana users.
The Kibana fix for CVE-2017-8451 was found to be incomplete. With X-Pack installed, Kibana versions before 6.0.1 and 5.6.5 have an open redirect vulnerability on the login page that would enable an attacker to craft a link that redirects to an arbitrary website.
An error was found in the X-Pack Security 5.3.0 to 5.5.2 privilege enforcement. If a user has either 'delete' or 'index' permissions on an index in a cluster, they may be able to issue both delete and index requests against that index.
An error was found in the permission model used by X-Pack Alerting 5.0.0 to 5.6.0 whereby users mapped to certain built-in roles could create a watch that results in that user gaining elevated privileges.
