Descriptions

The Groovy scripting engine in Elasticsearch before 1.3.8 and 1.4.x before 1.4.3 allows remote attackers to bypass the sandbox protection mechanism and execute arbitrary shell commands via a crafted script.

El motor de secuencias de comandos Groovy en Elasticsearch anterior a 1.3.8 y 1.4.x anterior a 1.4.3 permite a atacantes remotos evadir el mecanismo de protección de sandbox y ejecutar comandos de shell arbitrarios a través de una secuencia de comandos manipulada.
