CVE-2019-13416
Search Guard versions before 24.3 had an issue when Cross Cluster Search (CCS) was enabled, authenticated users are always authorized on the local cluster ignoring their roles on the remote cluster(s).
Does this matter?
Lower severity and a low EPSS score (0.99%). Track it; it rarely justifies an emergency change on its own.
