Descriptions

Kibana en versiones anteriores a 4.5.4 y 4.1.11 cuando se configura una salida personalizada para iniciar sesión, las cookies y los encabezados de autorización podrían escribirse en los archivos de registro. Esta información podría ser utilizada para secuestrar sesiones de otros usuarios cuando se utiliza Kibana bajo alguna forma de autenticación como Shield.

A flaw was found in Kibana's logging functionality. If custom logging output was configured in Kibana, private user data could be written to the Kibana log files.
