An error was found in the X-Pack Security 5.3.0 to 5.5.2 privilege enforcement. If a user has either delete or index permissions on an index in a cluster, they may be able to issue both delete and index requests against that index.
The product does not properly assign, modify, track, or check privileges for an actor, creating an unintended sphere of control for that actor.
