CWE-407

Description

A flaw in Elasticsearch allows a low-privileged authenticated user who can index documents to submit a single small document containing a crafted user-supplied input. Processing one such document occupies a worker thread from a bounded pool for a disproportionate amount of time, degrading the availability of indexing operations on the affected node.

Affected configurations

• elastic elasticsearch (>= 8.0.0 < 8.19.20) • elastic elasticsearch (>= 9.0.0 < 9.4.5)
