CVE-2014-3120 (GCVE-0-2014-3120)

Vulnerability from cvelistv5 – Published: 2014-07-28 19:00 – Updated: 2025-10-22 00:05
VLAI? CISA
Summary
The default configuration in Elasticsearch before 1.2 enables dynamic scripting, which allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary MVEL expressions and Java code via the source parameter to _search. NOTE: this only violates the vendor's intended security policy if the user does not run Elasticsearch in its own independent virtual machine.
Severity ?
