SCA: security update for org.elasticsearch:elasticsearch (GHSA-99pc-69q9-jxf2)

medium Tenable Self-Hosted Container Security Plugin ID 413175

Description

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

- Elasticsearch generally filters out sensitive information and credentials before logging to the audit log.
It was found that this filtering was not applied when requests to Elasticsearch use certain deprecated
URIs for APIs. The impact of this flaw is that sensitive information such as passwords and tokens might be
printed in cleartext in Elasticsearch audit logs. Note that audit logging is disabled by default and needs
to be explicitly enabled and even when audit logging is enabled, request bodies that could contain
sensitive information are not printed to the audit log unless explicitly configured. (CVE-2023-31417)
