CVE-2025-12149Network attack vector

Protected-document disclosure via omitted DLS enforcement

Published Nov 14, 2025 · Updated Nov 14, 2025

Incorrect authorization in Search Guard FLX 3.1.2 and earlier allows remote authenticated users to read protected documents through Signals watches. The Signals watch search execution path runs queries without applying the DLS rule enforced on ordinary searches. A user permitted to create or update a watch can query an affected index and expose matching documents beyond that user's assigned permissions.
