Action failed with 'security_exception

Elastic Stack Kibana
1

Ubuntu 20.04.2 LTS
Kibana 7.13.3
ElasticSearch 7.13.3

After a kibana upgrade , I cannot restart the server.
The webpage stay on "Kibana server is not ready yet" .

My /var/log/kibana.log has :

Can you share what version you're upgrading from? Has elasticsearch been upgrade and can you confirm the cluster is accessible using the credentials in kibana.yml?
