Description

Kibana before version 7.6.3 suffers from a prototype pollution bug within the
Upgrade Assistant. By setting a new constructor.prototype.sourceURL value we're
able to execute arbitrary code.
Code execution is possible through two different ways. Either by sending data
directly to Elastic, or using Kibana to submit the same queries. Either method
enters the polluted prototype for Kibana to read.

Kibana will either need to be restarted, or collection happens (unknown time) for
the payload to execute. Once it does, cleanup must delete the .kibana_1 index
for Kibana to restart successfully. Once a callback does occur, cleanup will
happen allowing Kibana to be successfully restarted on next attempt.
