Kibana versions prior to 5.6.1 had a cross-site scripting (XSS) vulnerability in Timelion that could allow an attacker to obtain sensitive information from or perform destructive actions on behalf of other Kibana users.

Elasticsearch X-Pack Security versions 5.0.0 to 5.4.3, when enabled, can result in the Elasticsearch nodes API leaking sensitive configuration information, such as the paths and passphrases of SSL keys that were configured as part of an authentication realm. This could allow an authenticated Elasticsearch user to improperly view these details.
