Note: Versions mentioned in the description apply only to the upstream ruby3.3-elasticsearch package and not the ruby3.3-elasticsearch package as distributed by Wolfi. See How to fix? for Wolfi relevant fixed versions and status.

Uncontrolled Recursion (CWE-674) in Elasticsearch can lead to denial of service via a specially crafted search request submitted by a low-privileged authenticated user. A user with read-level index access can submit a request that triggers unbounded recursive processing within the Elasticsearch query evaluation component, causing a fatal error that terminates the affected node. In single-node deployments, this results in complete service outage; in multi-node clusters, it causes repeated node restarts and sustained availability degradation.
