Description Andrej Nemec 2018-11-07 09:15:36 UTC 
Kibana versions 4.0 to 4.6, 5.0 to 5.6.12, and 6.0 to 6.4.2 contain an error in the way authorization credentials are used when generating PDF reports. If a report requests external resources plaintext credentials are included in the HTTP request that could be recovered by an external resource provider.

Comment 1 Joshua Padman 2018-11-08 03:43:01 UTC 
The PDF report generation is part of x-pack. Prior to version 6.3 x-pack was not a default part of the opensource project and not included in the packages provided by Red Hat.
Comment 2 Paul Harvey 2018-11-09 00:09:28 UTC 
openshift-enterprise-3.x: as stated in comment 1, no release of OCP so far includes a version of kibana which includes x-pack
