CVE-2023-45807  (opens in a new tab)
CWE-281  (opens in a new tab)

How to fix?

Upgrade org.opensearch.plugin:opensearch-security to version 2.11.0.0 or higher.

Overview

Affected versions of this package are vulnerable to Improper Preservation of Permissions in the implementation of tenant permissions in OpenSearch Dashboards. An attacker can perform create, edit, and delete operations on index metadata of dashboards and visualizations in a tenant, potentially rendering them unavailable, by exploiting the fact that authenticated users with read-only access to a tenant are not properly restricted.

Workaround

This vulnerability can be mitigated by disabling the tenants functionality for the cluster.
