SCA: security update for org.opensearch.plugin:opensearch-security (GHSA-72q2-gwwf-6hrv)

medium Tenable Cloud Security Plugin ID 411749

Description

There are packages installed that are affected by a vulnerability referenced in the following CVE:

 - OpenSearch is a community-driven, open source fork of Elasticsearch and Kibana following the license
 change in early 2021. There is an issue with the implementation of tenant permissions in OpenSearch
 Dashboards where authenticated users with read-only access to a tenant can perform create, edit and delete
 operations on index metadata of dashboards and visualizations in that tenant, potentially rendering them
 unavailable. This issue does not affect index data, only metadata. Dashboards correctly enforces read-only
 permissions when indexing and updating documents. This issue does not provide additional read access to
 data users don’t already have. This issue can be mitigated by disabling the tenants functionality for the
 cluster. Versions 1.3.14 and 2.11.0 contain a fix for this issue. (CVE-2023-45807)
