CyberRota Analysis
AI-GeneratedElasticsearch is vulnerable to a denial of service due to excessive memory allocation triggered by authenticated users with connector management privileges. By creating connector resources with overly large `description` fields, these users can exhaust the node's heap memory, potentially leading to crashes. Organizations using Elasticsearch should prioritize addressing this vulnerability to prevent service disruptions.
Original NVD Description
Memory Allocation with Excessive Size Value (CWE-789) in Elasticsearch can lead to denial of service via Excessive Allocation (CAPEC-130). An authenticated user with connector management privileges could cause the cluster to allocate an uncontrolled amount of memory when connector resources with an excessively large `description` field are created and subsequently accessed, exhausting available heap memory and crashing the affected node.
