Overview
Affected versions of this package are vulnerable to Missing Authentication for Critical Function via the /management/stop handler in the metrics management server on port 9091. An attacker can terminate the proxy, datanode, or querynode by sending a crafted HTTP GET request to /management/stop with a role parameter, which bypasses the REST API authentication middleware because the management-plane routes are served by an unprotected http.ServeMux. This leaves the management surface reachable by anyone who can connect to the metrics port, allowing remote shutdown of running service components and disruption of cluster availability.
