Description Michael Kaplan 2020-04-06 11:22:20 UTC

Elasticsearch versions from 6.7.0 before 6.8.8 and 7.0.0 before 7.6.2 contain a privilege escalation flaw if an attacker is able to create API keys. An attacker who is able to generate an API key can perform a series of steps that result in an API key being generated with elevated privileges.

OpenShift Container Platform 4.x and 3.11 use Elasticsearch 5.6 which does not have the API Keys feature.
