Elasticsearch ESA-2018-11

high Nessus Plugin ID 112046

Language:

Synopsis

The remote web server hosts a Java application that is affected by an unauthorised information disclosure vulnerability.

Description

A sensitive data disclosure flaw was found in the Elasticsearch repository-azure (formerly elasticsearch-cloud-azure) plugin. When the repository-azure plugin is set to log at TRACE level Azure credentials can be inadvertently logged.

Solution

All users of Elasticsearch should upgrade to version 6.3.0. This update will prevent the repository-azure plugin to expose Azure credentials in Elasticsearch logs.

Note that Nessus has not tested for these issues but has instead relied only on the application's self-reported version number.
