DescriptionCVE.org

Unrestricted deserialization of untrusted data in the cursor pagination component in the OpenSearch SQL plugin allows a remote authenticated user with basic read/search permissions to execute arbitrary code on the server by sending a crafted cursor parameter to the plugins/sql endpoint.

AnalysisAI

Remote code execution in OpenSearch's SQL plugin cursor pagination component allows authenticated users holding only basic read/search permissions to execute arbitrary code on the server by supplying a crafted serialized cursor parameter to the plugins/sql endpoint. Affecting all versions of self-hosted OpenSearch and Amazon OpenSearch Service up to the patched releases, this CWE-502 deserialization flaw is particularly dangerous because the low privilege bar means any cluster user - not just administrators - can trigger it. …

Vulnerability AssessmentAI

Exploitation Exploitation requires a valid account on the target OpenSearch cluster with at minimum basic read/search permissions - no administrative or elevated role is needed. … Additional conditions and limiting factors are described in the full assessment.
Risk Assessment The CVSS 4.0 score of 8.7 (AV:N/AC:L/AT:N/PR:L/UI:N/VC:H/VI:H/VA:H) accurately reflects the severity: the attack is network-reachable, requires no complex setup, demands only low-privilege authentication, and yields full compromise of confidentiality, integrity, and availability on the vulnerable system. … Full risk analysis with EPSS, KEV, and SSVC signal comparison available after sign-in.
Exploit Scenario Full exploit scenario with step-by-step reproduction available after sign-in.
Remediation The primary fix is to upgrade self-hosted OpenSearch to version 2.19.6 (2.x branch) or 3.7.0 (3.x branch), available at the official artifact pages (https://opensearch.org/artifacts/by-version/#release-3-7-0 and https://opensearch.org/artifacts/by-version/#release-2-19-6). … Detailed patch versions, workarounds, and compensating controls in full report.

Recommended ActionAI

Within 24 hours, inventory all OpenSearch deployments (self-hosted and AWS-managed) to identify versions prior to 2.19.6 or 3.7.0. …
