Elasticsearch Improper Access Control vulnerability
Packages
| Ecosystem | Package | Affected | Fixed in |
|---|---|---|---|
| Maven | org.elasticsearch:elasticsearch | < 1.4.0.Beta1 | 1.4.0.Beta1 |
Details
As written in the advisory (Markdown source, shown as plain text).
The default configuration in Elasticsearch before 1.4.0.Beta1 enables dynamic scripting, which allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary MVEL expressions and Java code via the source parameter to _search. NOTE: this only violates the vendor's intended security policy if the user does not run Elasticsearch in its own independent virtual machine.
