An attacker can exploit it over the internet without logging in, with no action from the victim.\nExploitation: There is no known exploitation of CVE-2025-68385 in the wild and no public exploit code.\n\nAffected packages and fixed versions:\n- kibana (Bitnami): affected all versions; fixed in 8.19.9, 9.1.9, 9.2.3\n- elk (Bitnami): affected all versions; fixed in 8.19.9, 9.1.9, 9.2.3\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-2025-68385/ (Markdown: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2025-68385/index.md)","id":"CVE-2025-68385","markdown":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2025-68385/index.md","name":"CVE-2025-68385","record":{"aliases":["BIT-elk-2025-68385","BIT-kibana-2025-68385","GHSA-x89f-99hf-gmr7","MINI-52pm-qf3c-w8h6","MINI-5hgm-33rv-94xw","MINI-5w5x-9jxj-hhcf","MINI-6w5w-6v2m-2vrg","MINI-7gc6-vcf6-h4w2","MINI-ppg3-rxx5-mqc8"],"analysis":{"component_type":"web_application","fix_type":"patch","impacts":["code_execution","account_takeover"],"network_reachable":"yes","non_default_config":false,"product_category":"Kibana visualization tool","requires_auth":"none","summary":"An authenticated user can execute malicious scripts in other users' browsers via a Vega bypass, potentially leading to session hijacking or data theft.","user_interaction":"not_required","vuln_class":"xss"},"analysis_generated_by":"qwen3.8-flash-next","assigner":"elastic","cpe":[{"product":"kibana","vendor":"elastic"}],"cvss":{"score":7.2,"severity":"high","source":"cna","vector":"CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N/S:C/C:L/I:L/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 ('Cross-site Scripting') (CWE-79) allows an authenticated user to embed a malicious script in content that will be served to web browsers causing cross-site scripting (XSS) (CAPEC-63) via a method in Vega bypassing a previous Vega XSS mitigation.","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 Improper Neutralization of Input During Web Page Generation ('Cross-site Scripting')","id":"CVE-2025-68385","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":"Kibana Improper Authorization","id":"CVE-2025-68386"},"packages":[{"ecosystem":"Bitnami","fixed":["8.19.9","9.1.9","9.2.3"],"introduced":["0","9.0.0","9.2.0"],"last_affected":[],"package":"elk","purl":"pkg:bitnami/elk","source":"BIT-elk-2025-68385"},{"ecosystem":"Bitnami","fixed":["8.19.9","9.1.9","9.2.3"],"introduced":["0","9.0.0","9.2.0"],"last_affected":[],"package":"kibana","purl":"pkg:bitnami/kibana","source":"BIT-kibana-2025-68385"}],"prev":{"headline":"Elasticsearch Allocation of Resources Without Limits or Throttling","id":"CVE-2025-68384"},"products":["Kibana"],"published":"2025-12-18","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":"yes","exploitation":"none","technical_impact":"partial"},"state":"PUBLISHED","updated":"2025-12-19","vendors":["Elastic"]},"summary":"An authenticated user can execute malicious scripts in other users' browsers via a Vega bypass, potentially leading to session hijacking or data theft.","url":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2025-68385/"}
