NVD Description

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.

Incorrect Authorization (CWE-863) in Elasticsearch can allow an authenticated user with limited index privileges to exploit insufficient authorization controls in the ingest simulation feature. By targeting indices they are not authorized to access directly, the user can cause those indices' configured ingest pipelines to execute and return their output, potentially disclosing data processed or enriched by those pipelines. Additionally, the same feature can be used to retrieve index mapping metadata for indices the user are not authorized to access directly.
