About Elasticsearch
Elastic ships a coordinated wave of Kibana CVE patches alongside steady Rally tooling work.
Elastic's recent feed is dominated by a single-day cluster of Kibana security advisories (ESA-2026-32 through 40): SSRF, denial-of-service, privilege-escalation, and stored-injection fixes spanning the 8.19, 9.2, 9.3, and 9.4 branches. The only feature-bearing release is Rally 2.13.0, the benchmarking harness.
