Until a fix is available, restrict onboarding privileges to trusted users only and review Kibana configuration to avoid embedding sensitive credentials in URLs where possible.

Description

A vulnerability in Kibana Observability onboarding allows insertion of sensitive information into sent data, exposing credentials used by Kibana to connect to Elasticsearch. Authenticated users with privileges to onboard Observability data can retrieve these credentials embedded in Elasticsearch host URLs, potentially gaining unauthorized access to Elasticsearch with Kibana service account privileges.
