Upgrade org.elasticsearch:elasticsearch to version 8.19.23, 9.4.7, 9.5.5 or higher.
Overview
org.elasticsearch:elasticsearch is a Distributed, RESTful Search Engine.
Affected versions of this package are vulnerable to Uncontrolled Recursion in the process that builds and serializes geometry values from scripted runtime fields. An attacker can cause the server to exhaust stack space and terminate by submitting a request with a script that generates a deeply nested structure. This is only exploitable if the attacker is an authenticated user with read access to at least one index.
