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.

Weakness

A product incorrectly assigns a privilege to a particular actor, creating an unintended sphere of control for that actor.

Affected Software

Name Vendor Start Version End Version
Enterprise_search Elastic * 7.9.0 (excluding)
Elasticsearch Ubuntu esm-apps/xenial *
Elasticsearch Ubuntu trusty *
Elasticsearch Ubuntu xenial *
