MEDIUM 4.8EPSS 1.08%
Does this matter?
Lower severity and a low EPSS score (1.08%). Track it; it rarely justifies an emergency change on its own.
Description
Kibana versions before 6.8.11 and 7.8.1 contain a denial of service (DoS) flaw in Timelion. An attacker can construct a URL that when viewed by a Kibana user can lead to the Kibana process consuming large amounts of CPU and becoming unresponsive.
