Document disclosure via Watcher search-result logging
Published Jul 26, 2024 · Updated Aug 2, 2024
Sensitive-data logging in affected Elastic Elasticsearch releases allows attackers with log access to read stored document contents. The Watcher search input writes complete search results, including raw document data, to Elasticsearch logs when its logger or a hierarchical parent is set to DEBUG or finer. Exposure requires a search-input watch, verbose logging, and access to the resulting logs; reported impact is limited to confidentiality.

Exploitability
Present is not the same as exploitable
Compare your product and version with the public record. A matching version still requires validation against your environment.
Is a vulnerable build present?
Compare these published version ranges with your installed build and any vendor patches.
- Affected versionversion=7.0.0 <7.17.16
- Affected versionversion=8.0.0 <8.11.2
