Descriptions

Incorrect Authorization issue exists in the API key based security model for Remote Cluster Security, which is currently in Beta, in Elasticsearch 8.10.0 and before 8.13.0. This allows a malicious user with a valid API key for a remote cluster configured to use the new Remote Cluster Security to read arbitrary documents from any index on the remote cluster, and only if they use the Elasticsearch custom transport protocol to issue requests with the target index ID, the shard ID and the document ID. None of Elasticsearch REST API endpoints are affected by this issue.

Existe un problema de autorización incorrecta en el modelo de seguridad basado en clave API para la seguridad de clúster remoto, que actualmente se encuentra en versión Beta, en Elasticsearch 8.10.0 y antes de 8.13.0. Esto permite que un usuario malintencionado con una clave API válida para un clúster remoto configurado para usar la nueva Seguridad de clúster remoto lea documentos arbitrarios de cualquier índice en el clúster remoto, y solo si utilizan el protocolo de transporte personalizado de Elasticsearch para emitir solicitudes con el ID del índice de destino, el ID del fragmento y el ID del documento. Ninguno de los endpoints de la API REST de Elasticsearch se ve afectado por este problema.
