GHSA-v3cg-7r9h-r2g6: Field-level security issue with .keyword fields in OpenSearch
Advisory title: Field-level security issue with .keyword fields
Affected versions:
OpenSearch 1.0.0-1.3.7 and 2.0.0-2.4.1
Patched versions:
OpenSearch 1.3.8 and 2.5.0
Impact:
There is an issue in the implementation of field-level security (FLS) and field masking where rules written to explicitly exclude fields are not correctly applied for certain queries that rely on their auto-generated .keyword fields.
This issue is only present for authenticated users with read access to the indexes containing the restricted fields.
Workaround:
FLS rules that use explicit exclusions can be written to grant explicit access instead. Policies authored in this way are not subject to this issue.
Patches:
OpenSearch versions 1.3.8 and 2.5.0 contain a fix for this issue.
