CVE-2014-3120

  1. OpenCVE
  2. Vulnerabilities (CVE)
  3. CVE-2014-3120
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.
