CVE-2014-3120 Open this link in a new tabHow to fix?
Upgrade org.elasticsearch:elasticsearch to version 1.2.0 or higher.
Overview
org.elasticsearch:elasticsearch is a Distributed, RESTful Search Engine.
Affected versions of this package are vulnerable to Arbitrary Code Execution. Enables dynamic scripting, which allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary MVEL expressions and Java code via the source parameter to _search. NOTE: this only violates the vendor's intended security policy if the user does not run Elasticsearch in its own independent virtual machine.
