=== Security updates
* In 6.7.0 to 6.8.8, the Upgrade Assistant contains a prototype pollution flaw. An authenticated attacker with
privileges to write to the {kib} index can insert data that could cause {kib} to execute arbitrary code. This
could lead to an attacker executing code with the permissions of the {kib} process on the host system, CVE-2020-7012.
+
By default, the Upgrade Assistant flaw is mitigated in all {kib} instances accessed through {ess}.
+
For all other installations, you must upgrade to 6.8.9. If you are unable to upgrade, disable the Upgrade Assistant in your kibana.yml file:

** In 6.7.0 and 6.7.1, set `upgrade_assistant.enabled:false`
** In 6.7.2 and later, set `xpack.upgrade_assistant_enabled:false`

* In 6.8.9 and earlier, TSVB contains a prototype pollution flaw. Authenticated attackers with privileges to create
TSVB visualizations can insert data that could cause {kib} to execute arbitrary code. This
could lead to an attacker executing code with the permissions of the {kib} process on the host system, CVE-2020-7013.
+
By default, the Upgrade Assistant flaw is mitigated in all {kib} instances accessed through {ess}.
+
For all other installations, you must upgrade to 6.8.9. If you are unable to upgrade, set `metrics.enabled:false` in your kibana.yml file to disable TSVB.
