Incorrect Authorization

org.elasticsearch.plugin:x-pack-security is an Elasticsearch Expanded Pack Plugin - Security

Affected versions of this package are vulnerable to Incorrect Authorization in the API-key-based security model for Remote Cluster Security (in beta). This allows a malicious user with a valid API key for a remote cluster configured to use Remote Cluster Security to read arbitrary documents from any index on the remote cluster, using the Elasticsearch custom transport protocol to issue requests with the target index ID, the shard ID, and the document ID.

Note:

None of the Elasticsearch REST API endpoints are affected by this issue.

How to fix Incorrect Authorization?

Upgrade org.elasticsearch.plugin:x-pack-security to version 8.13.0 or higher.
