CVE-2021-22147

This could lead to an authenticated user gaining access to information that they are unauthorized to view.

MEDIUM 6.5EPSS 1.04%

Does this matter?

Lower severity and a low EPSS score (1.04%). Track it; it rarely justifies an emergency change on its own.

Description

Elasticsearch before 7.14.0 did not apply document and field level security to searchable snapshots. This could lead to an authenticated user gaining access to information that they are unauthorized to view.
