Looking at Github, it actually looks like Kibana is bundled with Node.js v6.9.5: https://github.com/elastic/kibana/blob/v5.3.0/package.json#L243-L246

I am sorry, it was my fault. It was information for older version of 
Kibana (4.4.1, 4.3.2, 4.1.5)
https://discuss.elastic.co/t/kibana-4-4-1-4-3-2-4-1-5-updated-node-js-versions-due-to-upstream-vulnerabilities/41643

I created Kibana 5.0.2 package with poudriere with modified Makefile to:

RUN_DEPENDS=	node>=0.8.0:www/node

Kibana is up and running with Node.js 7.8. I hope it will be stable :)
