QID 995777

Date Published: 2023-11-01

QID 995777: Java (Maven) Security Update for org.elasticsearch:elasticsearch (GHSA-99pc-69q9-jxf2)

Elasticsearch generally filters out sensitive information and credentials before logging to the audit log. It was found that this filtering was not applied when requests to Elasticsearch use certain deprecated URIs for APIs. The impact of this flaw is that sensitive information such as passwords and tokens might be printed in cleartext in Elasticsearch audit logs. Note that audit logging is disabled by default and needs to be explicitly enabled and even when audit logging is enabled, request bodies that could contain sensitive information are not printed to the audit log unless explicitly configured.

Successful exploitation of this vulnerability could lead to a security breach or could affect integrity, availability, and confidentiality.

  • CVSS V3 rated as High - 7.5 severity.
  • CVSS V2 rated as Medium - 5.4 severity.
