CVE-2023-46668
Last modified
CVE-2023-46668 is a critical-severity vulnerability rated 9.1/10 on the CVSS scale. If Elastic Endpoint (v7.9.0 - v8.10.3) is configured to use a non-default option in which the logging level is explicitly set to debug, and when Elastic Agent is simultaneously configured to collect and send those logs to Elasticsearch, then Elastic Agent API keys can be viewed in Elasticsearch in plaintext. These API keys could be used to write arbitrary data and read Elastic Endpoint user artifacts.. EPSS estimates a 0.35% chance of exploitation in the next 30 days.
