How to fix?

There is no fixed version for RHEL:9 elasticsearch.

NVD Description

Note: Versions mentioned in the description apply only to the upstream elasticsearch package and not the elasticsearch package as distributed by RHEL. See How to fix? for RHEL:9 relevant fixed versions and status.

Elasticsearch generally filters out sensitive information and credentials before logging to the audit log. It was found that this filtering was not applied when requests to Elasticsearch use certain deprecated URIs for APIs. The impact of this flaw is that sensitive information such as passwords and tokens might be printed in cleartext in Elasticsearch audit logs. Note that audit logging is disabled by default and needs to be explicitly enabled and even when audit logging is enabled, request bodies that could contain sensitive information are not printed to the audit log unless explicitly configured.
