Summary

Elasticsearch Potential Node Crash due to Large Recursion in `innerForbidCircularReferences` Function

Details

A flaw was discovered in Elasticsearch, where a large recursion using the innerForbidCircularReferences function of the PatternBank class could cause the Elasticsearch node to crash.

A successful attack requires a malicious user to have read_pipeline Elasticsearch cluster privilege assigned to them.

Severity ?
