HTTP: Elastic Search Rest Arbitrary Code Execution
This signature detects attempts to exploit a known vulnerability against Elastic Search. A successful exploit can lead to buffer overflow and arbitrary code execution.
Extended Description
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.
Affected Products
- Elasticsearch elasticsearch 1.1.1
