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

The product does not properly assign, modify, track, or check privileges for an actor, creating an unintended sphere of control for that actor.
