QID 982689

QID 982689: Java (maven) Security Update for org.elasticsearch:elasticsearch (GHSA-hwvv-438r-mhvj)

A document disclosure flaw was found in Elasticsearch versions after 7.6.0 and before 7.11.0 when Document or Field Level Security is used. Get requests do not properly apply security permissions when executing a query against a recently updated document. This affects documents that have been updated and not yet refreshed in the index. This could result in the search disclosing the existence of documents and fields the attacker should not be able to view.

Successful exploitation of this vulnerability may affect the confidentiality, integrity, and availability of the targeted user.
