Published:July 01, 2026
Updated:July 21, 2026
Improper Output Neutralization for Logs (CWE-117) in Kibana can lead to log injection via Log Injection-Tampering-Forging (CAPEC-93).

When the log files are subsequently viewed in a terminal that interprets control sequences, the injected content may alter the displayed log data.
