What to check
- Applies to
- The 30 CVEs named below. Whether you run an affected version is not assessed: check the versions the source lists.
- Exploitation
- No exploitation in the wild and no public exploit is recorded for the CVEs named.
CERT-FR issued an advisory covering a large batch of vulnerabilities affecting Elastic Kibana versions prior to 8.19.20, 9.5.1, and 9.4.5. The flaws collectively enable privilege escalation, remote denial of service, data confidentiality and integrity breaches, security policy bypass, and cross-site request forgery (CSRF) attacks against affected deployments.
Elastic published over two dozen individual security bulletins (ESA-2026 series) on August 13, 2026, each addressing specific CVEs across the Kibana 8.x and 9.x branches. The advisory references more than 25 CVE identifiers, including one older CVE (CVE-2015-8131) alongside numerous 2026-dated vulnerabilities, indicating a comprehensive patch cycle rather than a single flaw. No active exploitation is reported; organizations running affected Kibana versions should apply the vendor patches referenced in the bulletins.

What this brief leaves out
This page is the free tier: the write-up, the severity, the names. In the app the same report carries live profiles of the CVEs it names. The paid plans add the security research and news reporting the free tier leaves out.
It sits in a corpus of 16,445 reports from 149 sources, 666 of them written in the last seven days, and it grows through the day.
A new account starts with three days of all of it, no card, then keeps the government and CERT reporting free. Slack alerts are a paid-plan feature: name the vendors you run and Slack hears about the reports that touch them, not the rest of the week's. Nothing is charged unless you subscribe.
