Kibana version 5.4.0 was affected by a Cross Site Scripting (XSS) bug in the Time Series Visual Builder. This bug could allow an attacker to obtain sensitive information from Kibana users.
Starting in version 5.3.0, Kibana had a cross-site scripting (XSS) vulnerability in the Discover page that could allow an attacker to obtain sensitive information from or perform destructive actions on behalf of other Kibana users.
Elastic X-Pack Security versions prior to 5.4.1 and 5.3.3 did not always correctly apply Document Level Security to index aliases. This bug could allow a user with restricted permissions to view data they should not have access to when performing certain operations against an index alias.
Cross-site request forgery (CSRF) vulnerability in Elasticsearch Kibana before 4.1.3 and 4.2.x before 4.2.1 allows remote attackers to hijack the authentication of unspecified victims via unknown vectors.
Directory traversal vulnerability in the file output plugin in Elasticsearch Logstash before 1.4.3 allows remote attackers to write to arbitrary files via vectors related to dynamic field references in the path option.
Cross-site scripting (XSS) vulnerability in Elasticsearch Kibana 4.x before 4.0.3 allows remote attackers to inject arbitrary web script or HTML via unspecified vectors.
The Groovy scripting engine in Elasticsearch before 1.3.8 and 1.4.x before 1.4.3 allows remote attackers to bypass the sandbox protection mechanism and execute arbitrary shell commands via a crafted script.
The default configuration in Elasticsearch before 1.2 enables dynamic scripting, which allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary MVEL expressions and Java code via the source parameter to _search. NOTE: this only violates the vendor's intended security policy if the user does not run Elasticsearch in its own independent virtual machine.
Elasticsearch Logstash 1.0.14 through 1.4.x before 1.4.2 allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary commands via a crafted event in (1) zabbix.rb or (2) nagios_nsca.rb in outputs/.
