How to fix?

Upgrade org.opensearch.plugin:opensearch-security to version 2.19.3.0 or higher.

Overview

Affected versions of this package are vulnerable to Information Exposure in the application of Field Level Security (FLS) rules to fields that are members of an object within a source document. An attacker can gain unauthorized access to sensitive data by reconstructing the contents of protected fields using range queries, even when exclusion rules are applied to the parent object.

Workaround

This vulnerability can be mitigated by adding additional exclusion rules for the members of the object (for example, using ~object.* in addition to ~object).
