Exposure of Sensitive Information to an Unauthorized Actor in Elasticsearch
Packages
| Ecosystem | Package | Affected | Fixed in |
|---|---|---|---|
| Maven | org.elasticsearch:elasticsearch | >= 5.6.0, < 5.6.12 | 5.6.12 |
| Maven | org.elasticsearch:elasticsearch | >= 6.0.0, < 6.4.1 | 6.4.1 |
Details
As written in the advisory (Markdown source, shown as plain text).
Elasticsearch Alerting and Monitoring in versions before 6.4.1 or 5.6.12 have an information disclosure issue when secrets are configured via the API. The Elasticsearch _cluster/settings API, when queried, could leak sensitive configuration information such as passwords, tokens, or usernames. This could allow an authenticated Elasticsearch user to improperly view these details.
