SCA: security update for org.elasticsearch:elasticsearch (GHSA-2hjr-vmf3-xwvp)

medium Tenable Self-Hosted Container Security Plugin ID 408940

Description

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

- An issue was discovered by Elastic whereby Watcher search input logged the search query results on DEBUG
log level. This could lead to raw contents of documents stored in Elasticsearch to be printed in logs.
Elastic has released 8.11.2 and 7.17.16 that resolves this issue by removing this excessive logging. This
issue only affects users that use Watcher and have a Watch defined that uses the search input and
additionally have set the search input’s logger to DEBUG or finer, for example using:
org.elasticsearch.xpack.watcher.input.search, org.elasticsearch.xpack.watcher.input,
org.elasticsearch.xpack.watcher, or wider, since the loggers are hierarchical. (CVE-2023-49921)
