Enterprise Search Insertion of Sensitive Information into Log File

An issue was discovered by Elastic whereby the Documents API of App Search logged the raw contents of indexed documents at INFO log level. Depending on the contents of such documents, this could lead to the insertion of sensitive or private information in the App Search logs. Elastic has released 8.11.2 and 7.17.16 that resolves this issue by changing the log level at which these are logged to DEBUG, which is disabled by default.

An information disclosure via GET request server-side request forgery vulnerability was discovered with the Workplace Search Github Enterprise Server integration. Using this vulnerability, a malicious Workplace Search admin could use the GHES integration to view hosts that might not be publicly accessible.

Elastic Enterprise Search App Search versions before 7.14.0 are vulnerable to an issue where API keys were missing authorization via an alternate route. Using this vulnerability, an authenticated attacker could utilize API keys belonging to higher privileged users.

Elastic Enterprise Search App Search versions before 7.14.0 was vulnerable to an issue where API keys were not bound to the same engines as their creator. This could lead to a less privileged user gaining access to unauthorized engines.

Elastic Enterprise Search before 7.9.0 contain a credential exposure flaw in the App Search interface. If a user is given the �developer� role, they will be able to view the administrator API credentials. These credentials could allow the developer user to conduct operations with the same permissions of the App Search administrator.
