Any signed-in user can exploit it over the network, and only if a user opens a file or follows a link.\nExploitation: There is no known exploitation of CVE-2025-25018 in the wild and no public exploit code.\n\nAffected packages and fixed versions:\n- kibana (Bitnami): affected all versions; fixed in 8.18.8, 8.19.5, 9.0.8, 9.1.5\n- elk (Bitnami): affected all versions; fixed in 8.18.8, 8.19.5, 9.0.8, 9.1.5\n\nTask:\n1. Search the dependency manifests and lockfiles (for example package.json, package-lock.json, requirements.txt, poetry.lock, uv.lock, pom.xml, build.gradle, go.mod, Cargo.lock, Gemfile.lock) and any Dockerfiles for the affected packages, including transitive dependencies.\n2. If an affected version is in use, upgrade it to the fixed version for its release line with the project's package manager, so the lockfile is regenerated. Prefer the smallest upgrade that fixes it.\n3. If there is no fix, or the upgrade would break the build, do not guess: explain the risk and the safest workaround instead.\n4. Run the tests and summarise what changed and why.\n5. If nothing in the project is affected, say so and change nothing.\n\nReference: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2025-25018/ (Markdown: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2025-25018/index.md)","id":"CVE-2025-25018","markdown":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2025-25018/index.md","name":"CVE-2025-25018","record":{"aliases":["BIT-elk-2025-25018","BIT-kibana-2025-25018","GHSA-23vx-2j4v-jvhm","MINI-522c-6h7m-f58g","MINI-7jxm-ccg6-h8cw","MINI-9q74-m4mp-99cc","MINI-fcvq-cwhf-52c7","MINI-mhhp-g4cx-gfjv"],"analysis":{"component_type":"web_application","fix_type":"upgrade","impacts":["code_execution","account_takeover"],"network_reachable":"yes","non_default_config":false,"product_category":"Kibana data visualization","requires_auth":"low_privilege","summary":"Attackers can inject malicious scripts into Kibana, potentially executing code in victim browsers and compromising user accounts.","user_interaction":"required","vuln_class":"xss"},"analysis_generated_by":"qwen3.8-flash-next","assigner":"elastic","cpe":[{"product":"kibana","vendor":"elastic"}],"cvss":{"score":8.7,"severity":"high","source":"cna","vector":"CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:L/PR:L/UI:R/S:C/C:H/I:H/A:N","version":"3.1"},"cwes":[{"id":"CWE-79","name":"Improper Neutralization of Input During Web Page Generation"}],"description":"Improper Neutralization of Input During Web Page Generation in Kibana can lead to stored Cross-Site Scripting (XSS)","ecosystems":["Bitnami"],"exploits":{"exploitdb":0,"first_seen":null,"github_poc":0,"max_poc_stars":null,"metasploit":0,"nuclei":0,"refs":[],"tier":"none_known"},"has_fix":true,"headline":"Kibana Stored Cross-Site Scripting (XSS)","id":"CVE-2025-25018","indexable":true,"kev":null,"kind":"cve","links":{"ecosystem":"Bitnami","product":"elastic:kibana","products":["elastic:kibana"],"type":"xss","year":"2025"},"n_packages":2,"n_references":1,"next":{"headline":"IBM QRadar Suite Software and IBM Cloud Pak for Security session fixation","id":"CVE-2025-25019"},"packages":[{"ecosystem":"Bitnami","fixed":["8.18.8","8.19.5","9.0.8","9.1.5"],"introduced":["0","8.19.0","9.0.0","9.1.0"],"last_affected":[],"package":"elk","purl":"pkg:bitnami/elk","source":"BIT-elk-2025-25018"},{"ecosystem":"Bitnami","fixed":["8.18.8","8.19.5","9.0.8","9.1.5"],"introduced":["0","8.19.0","9.0.0","9.1.0"],"last_affected":[],"package":"kibana","purl":"pkg:bitnami/kibana","source":"BIT-kibana-2025-25018"}],"prev":{"headline":"Kibana Stored Cross-Site Scripting (XSS)","id":"CVE-2025-25017"},"products":["Kibana"],"published":"2025-10-10","related":[{"cvss_score":9.8,"headline":"Kibana Arbitrary Code Execution","id":"CVE-2019-7609","kev_date_added":"2022-01-10","published":"2019-03-25"},{"cvss_score":9.9,"headline":"Kibana arbitrary code execution via prototype pollution","id":"CVE-2025-25015","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2025-03-05"},{"cvss_score":9.9,"headline":"Deserialization in Kibana","id":"CVE-2024-37288","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2024-09-09"},{"cvss_score":9.9,"headline":"Code injection in Kibana","id":"CVE-2023-31415","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2023-05-04"},{"cvss_score":9.8,"headline":"Information disclosure in Kibana","id":"CVE-2018-17245","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2018-12-20"},{"cvss_score":9.8,"headline":"Code injection in Kibana","id":"CVE-2018-17246","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2018-12-20"},{"cvss_score":9.1,"headline":"Kibana arbitrary code execution via prototype pollution","id":"CVE-2025-25014","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2025-05-06"}],"sources":[{"class":"attribution","licence":"Apache-2.0","name":"Bitnami","prefix":"BIT"},{"class":"attribution","licence":"CVE Terms of Use (MITRE)","name":"CVE List","prefix":"CVE"},{"class":"attribution","licence":"US public information, NVD API terms","name":"NVD"},{"class":"attribution","licence":"CWE Terms of Use","name":"CWE (MITRE)"},{"class":"attribution","licence":"FIRST CVSS licence","name":"CVSS (FIRST)"}],"ssvc":{"automatable":"no","exploitation":"none","technical_impact":"total"},"state":"PUBLISHED","updated":"2026-02-26","vendors":["Elastic"]},"summary":"Attackers can inject malicious scripts into Kibana, potentially executing code in victim browsers and compromising user accounts.","url":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2025-25018/"}
