CVE-2022-41918Network attack vector

Unauthorized data access via omitted data-stream resolution

Published Nov 15, 2022 · Updated Apr 23, 2025

Incorrect authorization in OpenSearch Security before 1.3.7 and 2.0.0 through 2.3.0 allows remote authenticated users to access restricted data. ConfigModelV7 resolves permitted index patterns as aliases but omits data streams and their backing indices, so document-level security, field-level security, and field masking are not applied to those indices. Exploitation requires an authenticated user already authorized to read an affected data stream; it does not grant access to arbitrary cluster indices.
