{"id":"CVE-2018-17247","details":"Elasticsearch Security versions 6.5.0 and 6.5.1 contain an XXE flaw in Machine Learning's find_file_structure API. If a policy allowing external network access has been added to Elasticsearch's Java Security Manager then an attacker could send a specially crafted request capable of leaking content of local files on the Elasticsearch node. This could allow a user to access information that they should not have access to.","aliases":["GHSA-ccmr-qj26-845g"],"modified":"2026-07-08T14:58:11.588854Z","published":"2018-12-20T22:29:00.427Z","references":[{"type":"ADVISORY","url":"http://www.securityfocus.com/bid/106294"},{"type":"ADVISORY","url":"https://discuss.elastic.co/t/elastic-stack-6-5-2-security-update/159594"},{"type":"ADVISORY","url":"https://www.elastic.co/community/security"}],"affected":[{"ranges":[{"type":"GIT","repo":"https://github.com/elastic/elasticsearch","events":[{"introduced":"816e6f6a08be821d8ec01b51bf383544d1e341b0"},{"last_affected":"8c58350faa7a6d93d107e35e0a3e7b6beee090ec"}],"database_specific":{"cpe":["cpe:2.3:a:elastic:elasticsearch:6.5.0:*:*:*:*:*:*:*","cpe:2.3:a:elastic:elasticsearch:6.5.1:*:*:*:*:*:*:*"],"extracted_events":[{"introduced":"6.5.0"},{"last_affected":"6.5.0"},{"introduced":"6.5.1"},{"last_affected":"6.5.1"}],"source":"CPE_STRING"}}],"versions":["6.5.0","6.5.1","v6.5.1","v6.5.0"],"database_specific":{"source":"https://storage.googleapis.com/cve-osv-conversion/osv-output/CVE-2018-17247.json"}}],"schema_version":"1.7.5","severity":[{"type":"CVSS_V3","score":"CVSS:3.0/AV:N/AC:H/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:N/A:N"}]}
