I can not interpret these announcements for you as there is a clear statement of Affected Versions in [Kibana 8.17.3 Security Update (ESA-2025-06)](https://discuss.elastic.co/t/kibana-8-17-3-security-update-esa-2025-06/375441) announcement, you should look at that.

Version 7.9.0 is VERY VERY old you should check what CVEs exist for that version. Our normal advice would be to upgrade as a matter of urgency.
