CyberRota Analysis
AI-GeneratedElasticsearch is vulnerable to a denial-of-service attack due to a flaw that allows low-privileged authenticated users to submit a specially crafted request with a forged opaque identifier. This request can lead to an out-of-memory condition, causing the affected node process to terminate. Organizations using Elasticsearch should prioritize addressing this vulnerability to prevent potential service disruptions.
Original NVD Description
A flaw in Elasticsearch allows a low-privileged authenticated user to submit a single small request containing a forged opaque identifier. Elasticsearch decodes and deserializes the identifier before confirming that it was legitimately issued by the cluster, and a size value carried inside the identifier drives an allocation that is neither capped nor accounted for by the available memory-usage controls. The resulting out-of-memory condition is fatal and terminates the affected node process, resulting in a denial of service.
