SCA: security update for github.com/elastic/beats, github.com/elastic/beats/v7 (GHSA-hj4r-2c9c-29h3)

medium Tenable Cloud Security Plugin ID 421512

Description

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

 - An issue was discovered by Elastic whereby Beats and Elastic Agent would log a raw event in its own logs
 at the WARN or ERROR level if ingesting that event to Elasticsearch failed with any 4xx HTTP status code
 except 409 or 429. Depending on the nature of the event that Beats or Elastic Agent attempted to ingest,
 this could lead to the insertion of sensitive or private information in the Beats or Elastic Agent logs.
 Elastic has released 8.11.3 and 7.17.16 that prevents this issue by limiting these types of logs to DEBUG
 level logging, which is disabled by default. (CVE-2023-49922)
