GHSA-22VX-2X23-98W6

Vulnerability from github – Published: 2026-05-07 00:08 – Updated: 2026-05-07 00:08
VLAI
Summary
OpenSearch vulnerable to improper authorization for Rollover Requests
Details

Description

A flaw was identified in the OpenSearch Security plugin's handling of index rollover requests. When a rollover request included an explicit target index name, the security plugin did not properly evaluate access control permissions against the target index. This could allow a user with rollover permissions on a source index to create a new index with a name they are not authorized to use.

Impact

A user with indices:admin/rollover permission on a source index pattern could roll over to a target index name outside their authorized index patterns. This is limited to index creation via the rollover API and requires the user to already have rollover privileges on the source index.

Patches

This issue is fixed in OpenSearch 2.19.4 and 3.2.0

Workarounds

Grant the indices:admin/rollover permission only to fully trusted users.

Severity
2.2 (Low)

Mitigation
Architecture and Design
  • Divide the product into anonymous, normal, privileged, and administrative areas. Reduce the attack surface by carefully mapping roles with data and functionality. Use role-based access control (RBAC) [REF-229] to enforce the roles at the appropriate boundaries.
  • Note that this approach may not protect against horizontal authorization, i.e., it will not protect a user from attacking others with the same role.
Mitigation
Architecture and Design

Ensure that access control checks are performed related to the business logic. These checks may be different than the access control checks that are applied to more generic resources such as files, connections, processes, memory, and database records. For example, a database may restrict access for medical records to a specific database user, but each record might only be intended to be accessible to the patient and the patient's doctor [REF-7].

Mitigation MIT-4.4
Architecture and Design

Strategy: Libraries or Frameworks

  • Use a vetted library or framework that does not allow this weakness to occur or provides constructs that make this weakness easier to avoid.
  • For example, consider using authorization frameworks such as the JAAS Authorization Framework [REF-233] and the OWASP ESAPI Access Control feature [REF-45].
Mitigation
Architecture and Design
  • For web applications, make sure that the access control mechanism is enforced correctly at the server side on every page. Users should not be able to access any unauthorized functionality or information by simply requesting direct access to that page.
  • One way to do this is to ensure that all pages containing sensitive information are not cached, and that all such pages restrict access to requests that are accompanied by an active and authenticated session token associated with a user who has the required permissions to access that page.
Mitigation
System Configuration Installation

Use the access control capabilities of your operating system and server environment and define your access control lists accordingly. Use a "default deny" policy when defining these ACLs.
