Overview

org.elasticsearch:elasticsearch is a Distributed, RESTful Search Engine.

Affected versions of this package are vulnerable to Arbitrary Code Execution. The snapshot API may be used indirectly to place snapshot metadata files into locations that are writeable by the user running the Elasticsearch process. It is possible to create a file that another application could read and take action on, resulting in code execution.
