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.

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.

In Elasticsearch versions 6.0.0-beta1 to 6.2.4 a disclosure flaw was found in the snapshot API. When the accesskey and securitykey parameters are set using the snapshot API they can be exposed as plain text by users able to query the snapshot API.
