9.8 criticalCVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:H/A:HCVE-2015-1427
Critical (9.8) in Elastic Elasticsearch. In CISA KEV since 2022-03-25. EPSS 100% chance of exploitation in the next 30 days. Fixed in org.elasticsearch:elasticsearch 1.3.8, 1.4.3.
The Groovy scripting engine in Elasticsearch before 1.3.8 and 1.4.x before 1.4.3 allows remote attackers to bypass the sandbox protection mechanism and execute arbitrary shell commands via a crafted script.
