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. …
