Overview
org.elasticsearch.plugin:x-pack-security is an Elasticsearch Expanded Pack Plugin - Security
Affected versions of this package are vulnerable to Exposure of Sensitive Information to an Unauthorized Actor via the Remote Cluster Search Cross Cluster API Key. If a cross-cluster API key restricts search for a given index using the query or the field_security parameter, and the same cross-cluster API key also grants replication for the same index, the search restrictions are not enforced during cross cluster search operations and search results may include documents and terms that should not be returned.
Note:
This issue only affects the API key based security model for remote clusters 4 that was previously a beta feature and is released as GA with 8.14.0.
