Overview
Affected versions of this package are vulnerable to Incorrect Authorization in the handling of index rollover requests when an explicit target index name is provided. An attacker can create a new index with an unauthorized name by exploiting insufficient access control checks on the target index. This is only exploitable if the attacker already possesses indices:admin/rollover privileges on a source index pattern and uses the rollover API.
