high Tenable Self-Hosted Container Security Plugin ID 414542

Description

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

 - A permission issue was found in Elasticsearch versions before 5.6.15 and 6.6.1 when Field Level Security
 and Document Level Security are disabled and the _aliases, _shrink, or _split endpoints are used . If the
 elasticsearch.yml file has xpack.security.dls_fls.enabled set to false, certain permission checks are
 skipped when users perform one of the actions mentioned above, to make existing data available under a new
 index/alias name. This could result in an attacker gaining additional permissions against a restricted
 index. (CVE-2019-7611)
