CVE-2025-58056 is an HTTP request smuggling vulnerability caused by Netty incorrectly accepting standalone newline characters (LF) as chunk-size line terminators instead of requiring CRLF per HTTP/1.1 spec. The Netty dependency has been updated to a fixed version.

<summary><strong>🚀 New</strong> (ES) <a href="https://docs.readonlyrest.com/elasticsearch/audit#using-configurable-serializer">Added support for defining a custom audit serializer directly in ROR settings (no code required)</a></summary>

Previously, customizing the format of audit log events required writing a Scala or Java serializer, compiling it into a JAR, and adding it to the plugin classpath. Now you can define a custom audit serializer directly in the ROR configuration using YAML — no coding or compilation needed. This makes it much easier to tailor audit event fields to your specific monitoring and compliance requirements.

</details>

<details>

<summary><strong>🚀 New</strong> (ES) <a href="https://docs.readonlyrest.com/elasticsearch/audit#predefined-serializers">Introduced new predefined audit serializers: <code>ReportingAllEventsAuditLogSerializer</code>, <code>ReportingAllEventsWithQueryAuditLogSerializer</code></a></summary>

Two new built-in audit serializers have been added. \`ReportingAllEventsAuditLogSerializer\` logs all audit events regardless of verbosity settings, while \`ReportingAllEventsWithQueryAuditLogSerializer\` does the same but also captures the full request body. These complement the existing serializers and give administrators more granular control over audit logging without needing custom code.

</details>

<details>

<summary><strong>🚀 New</strong> (ES) Added new rules: <a href="https://docs.readonlyrest.com/elasticsearch#ror_kbn_authentication"><code>ror_kbn_authentication</code></a> and <a href="https://docs.readonlyrest.com/elasticsearch#ror_kbn_authorization"><code>ror_kbn_authorization</code></a>, as alternatives to the existing <code>ror_kbn_auth</code> rule</summary>

The existing \`ror\_kbn\_auth\` rule combined both authentication and authorization into a single rule. The new \`ror\_kbn\_authentication\` and \`ror\_kbn\_authorization\` rules allow you to split these concerns into separate ACL blocks, giving you more flexibility to define different authentication methods and authorization logic independently in your security configuration.

</details>

<details>

<summary><strong>🧐 Enhancement</strong> (KBN) <a href="https://docs.readonlyrest.com/kibana#clock-skew-tolerance">Added OIDC <code>clock-skew-tolerance</code> configuration option in <code>kibana.yml</code></a></summary>

A new \`clock-skew-tolerance\` configuration option has been added for OIDC authentication in the Kibana plugin. This allows administrators to configure how much time drift (clock skew) is tolerated between the Kibana server and the OIDC identity provider when validating token timestamps, helping to avoid authentication failures in environments with slight clock discrepancies.

</details>

<details>

<summary><strong>🧐 Enhancement</strong> (KBN) <a href="https://docs.readonlyrest.com/kibana#terminate-kibana-on-es-high-watermark">Added option to disable Kibana termination on watermark errors in <code>kibana.yml</code></a></summary>

Previously, when Elasticsearch disk watermark thresholds were exceeded, the ROR Kibana plugin would terminate Kibana to prevent data loss. A new configuration option has been added to \`kibana.yml\` that allows administrators to disable this automatic termination behavior, giving them more control over how their cluster handles high watermark scenarios.

</details>

<details>

<summary><strong>🐞 Fix</strong> (KBN) Logout did not invalidate the app session when the <code>ror_kbn_auth</code> rule was used with local group definitions</summary>

When using the \`ror\_kbn\_auth\` rule with locally defined groups, the logout action was not properly invalidating the Kibana application session. This meant that after logging out, the session could potentially remain active. This has been fixed so that logout correctly terminates the session regardless of how groups are defined.

</details>

<details>

<summary><strong>🐞 Fix</strong> (KBN) <a href="https://forum.readonlyrest.com/t/kibana-data-view-filter-not-working-with-keyword/2843">Restored keyword field value suggestions in Discover/Data View filters</a></summary>

After upgrading ROR to versions 1.60+, the Discover and Data View filter dropdowns in Kibana stopped showing value suggestions for keyword fields. This regression has been fixed, restoring the expected autocomplete behavior when filtering by keyword fields in Kibana's data exploration tools.

</details>

<details>

<summary><strong>🐞 Fix</strong> (KBN) Integration-based options were visible in search results even when the app was marked as hidden</summary>

When certain Kibana apps were configured as hidden, their integration-based options (such as dashboards or visualizations) could still appear in Kibana's global search results. This fix ensures that when an app is marked as hidden, its associated integration options are also properly excluded from search results.

</details>

<details>

<summary><strong>🐞 Fix</strong> (KBN) Index Management appeared in app search results even when the app was declared as hidden</summary>

The Index Management app in Kibana was still appearing in global search results even when administrators had explicitly marked it as hidden in the ROR security configuration. This has been corrected so that hidden apps are fully excluded from search results.

</details>

<details>

<summary><strong>🐞 Fix</strong> (KBN) Resolved an issue with CSRF token override when multiple browser tabs were open</summary>

When users had multiple Kibana browser tabs open simultaneously, CSRF token management could cause one tab's token to override another's, leading to unexpected request failures. This issue has been resolved to ensure proper CSRF token isolation across multiple tabs.

</details>

<details>

<summary><strong>🐞 Fix</strong> (KBN) Fixed OIDC compatibility for Kibana 7.10.2 and earlier</summary>

<summary><strong>🧐Enhancement</strong> (KBN) Displays <a href="https://docs.readonlyrest.com/elasticsearch#unauthorized-response-configuration">detailed "reason" messages from the ROR Elasticsearch</a> response in the login form instead of a generic "Wrong credentials" message.</summary>

Login failures now show specific error messages from Elasticsearch's ReadonlyREST plugin rather than generic "Wrong credentials" messages. This provides users with actionable feedback about authentication issues, such as account lockouts, expired credentials, or specific authorization failures.

</details>

<details>

<summary><strong>🧐Enhancement</strong> (KBN) Added support for passing additional <a href="https://docs.readonlyrest.com/kibana#additional-parameters">SAML</a> and <a href="https://docs.readonlyrest.com/kibana#additional-parameters">OIDC</a> config parameters via <code>kibana.yml</code>.</summary>

Extended configuration options for SAML and OIDC authentication providers can now be specified directly in kibana.yml. This allows administrators to customize authentication flows with provider-specific parameters without modifying plugin code, enhancing integration flexibility with enterprise identity systems.

</details>

<details>

<summary><strong>🧐Enhancement</strong> (KBN) Adjusted ReadonlyREST plugin UI styles for compatibility with Kibana 9.x.</summary>

The ReadonlyREST plugin interface has been updated with CSS and styling adjustments to ensure proper display and functionality within Kibana 9.x environments. This maintains visual consistency and usability as Kibana evolves its user interface framework.

</details>

<details>

<summary><strong>🧐Enhancement</strong> (ES) Username duplication check in the "users" section of ROR ES settings can <a href="https://docs.readonlyrest.com/elasticsearch#users_section_duplicate_usernames_detection">be optionally disabled</a>.</summary>

Administrators can now optionally disable the duplicate username validation in Elasticsearch settings. This provides flexibility for complex deployment scenarios where username duplication might be intentional or managed through external systems, while maintaining the default validation for security.

</details>

<details>

<summary><strong>🧐Enhancement</strong> (ES) Added support for <a href="https://docs.readonlyrest.com/elasticsearch#global-settings"><code>readonlyrest.global_settings</code></a> in Elasticsearch ROR settings.</summary>

Elasticsearch configuration now supports \`readonlyrest.global\_settings\` for centralized management of plugin-wide parameters. This enables consistent configuration across clusters and simplifies administration by separating global settings from rule-specific configurations.

</details>

<details>

<summary><strong>🐞Fix</strong> (KBN) Resolved an unhandled error when <code>logging.root.level</code> is set to <code>all</code> in <code>kibana.yml</code>.</summary>

Fixed a crash that occurred when Kibana's logging.root.level was configured as "all" in kibana.yml. The plugin now properly handles this logging configuration, preventing startup failures and ensuring compatibility with verbose logging settings for debugging purposes.

</details>

<details>

<summary><strong>🐞Fix</strong> (KBN) Fixed an issue with retrieving username and group information in AFDS OIDC.</summary>

Corrected a bug where Azure AD Federated Services (AFDS) OIDC authentication failed to properly extract username and group information from identity tokens. This fix ensures proper user identification and group-based authorization for Azure AD-integrated deployments.

</details>

<details>

<summary><strong>🐞Fix</strong> (KBN) Fixed an issue with passing <code>x-ror-correlation-id</code> to the ReadonlyREST API request.</summary>

Resolved a problem where the \`x-ror-correlation-id\` header was not being properly passed through to ReadonlyREST API requests. This fix ensures correlation IDs are correctly transmitted for request tracing, debugging, and audit logging across the authentication and authorization pipeline.
