Summary

Elasticsearch from 8.9.0 through 8.19.23, from 9.0.0 through 9.4.8, and from 9.5.0 through 9.5.5 can share cached query results across users with and without field-level security (CWE-524). A user restricted by field-level security can learn which documents match a value in a field they cannot read and can cause users with full access to receive incomplete search results. Disclosure requires that a user with full access recently ran the same query on the same shard.

Description from the CNA

Use of Cache Containing Sensitive Information (CWE-524) in Elasticsearch can lead to information disclosure and incorrect search results via specially crafted search requests. For some query types, Elasticsearch can share cached query results between users who have field-level security restrictions and users who do not. A user restricted by field-level security can learn which documents match a value in a field that they cannot read. A restricted user can also cause users with full access to receive incomplete search results. Disclosure is only possible when a user with full access ran the same query on the same shard recently.
