medium Nessus Plugin ID 139740

Language:

Synopsis

The remote FreeBSD host is missing a security-related update.

Description

Elastic reports :

A field disclosure flaw was found in Elasticsearch when running a scrolling search with Field Level Security. If a user runs the same query another more privileged user recently ran, the scrolling search can leak fields that should be hidden. This could result in an attacker gaining additional permissions against a restricted index.

Solution

Update the affected package.
