Overview

Affected versions of this package are vulnerable to Allocation of Resources Without Limits or Throttling due to the generation of syntactically invalid Elasticsearch queries that generate an error to handle temporary losses of connection. This would cause the retry mechanism to begin re-querying with the same syntactically invalid query immediately, in an infinite loop.
