Missing authorization in the Execute Monitor API in Amazon OpenSearch Alerting plugin might allow an authenticated remote user to read, modify, or delete arbitrary index data via a crafted inline monitor request with unintentional data source and input index parameters.
AnalysisAI
Missing authorization in the Execute Monitor API of the Amazon OpenSearch Alerting plugin allows any authenticated remote user to read, modify, or delete arbitrary index data by supplying crafted inline monitor requests with attacker-controlled data source and input index parameters. The flaw bypasses index-level permission enforcement, making it a meaningful privilege escalation risk in multi-tenant or shared OpenSearch deployments. …

Attack ChainAIDerived
Hypothetical attack flow derived from CVE metadata
Vulnerability AssessmentAI
| Exploitation | Exploitation requires a valid authenticated session on the OpenSearch cluster, confirmed by the CVSS 4.0 PR:L metric - unauthenticated access is insufficient. … Additional conditions and limiting factors are described in the full assessment. |
| Risk Assessment | The CVSS 4.0 score of 8.6 with vector AV:N/AC:L/AT:N/PR:L/UI:N/VC:H/VI:H/VA:N reflects a realistic and meaningful threat profile: the vulnerability is network-accessible, requires no complex preconditions, and needs only authenticated access (PR:L) to exploit. … Full risk analysis with EPSS, KEV, and SSVC signal comparison available after sign-in. |
| Exploit Scenario | An authenticated low-privilege user on a shared OpenSearch cluster - such as a developer with read access to their own application indices - crafts a POST request to the Execute Monitor API specifying an inline monitor with input index parameters pointing to sensitive indices (e.g., financial records or security audit logs) they should not access. Because the API does not validate the caller's permissions against the specified index targets, the response returns data from the restricted index or allows the attacker to modify or delete records within it. … |
| Remediation | Upgrade to Amazon OpenSearch Service version 3.5 or later as referenced by the AWS What's New announcement (https://aws.amazon.com/about-aws/whats-new/2026/03/amazon-opensearch-service-version-3-5/). … Detailed patch versions, workarounds, and compensating controls in full report. |
Recommended ActionAI
Within 24 hours, inventory all systems running Amazon OpenSearch with the Alerting plugin enabled and confirm their current versions against vendor advisories to identify exposure scope. …
