CVE-2014-3120

8.1 highKEVEPSS 89%

High (8.1) in Elastic Elasticsearch. In CISA KEV since 2022-03-25. EPSS 89% chance of exploitation in the next 30 days. Fixed in org.elasticsearch:elasticsearch 1.4.0.Beta1.

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.
