Authorization Bypass Through User-Controlled Key in Elastic Cloud
Enterprise (ECE) Leading to Privilege Escalation

Authorization Bypass Through User-Controlled Key (CWE-639) in Elastic
Cloud Enterprise (ECE) can lead to privilege escalation via Privilege
Abuse (CAPEC-122). An attacker who controls any host in an ECE
installation can obtain credentials that are reserved for other
platform roles. These credentials can give the attacker full control
of the ECE control plane and of the deployments that it manages.


Affected Versions:

        1.x, 2.x and 3.x: All versions from 1.0.0 up to and including
3.8.5
        4.x: All versions from 4.0.0 up to and including 4.2.0


Affected Configurations:

        All ECE installations on affected versions are affected.
Exploitation requires administrative access to at least one host in
the ECE installation, including a host that only runs the allocator
role, or access to the internal ECE platform services from the network.
ECE hosts and the internal ECE network are intended to be accessible
only to trusted administrators. This deployment model limits exposure
to this vulnerability.


Solutions and Mitigations:

The issue is resolved in version 3.8.6 and 4.2.1.

The versions above are the first releases verified to contain the fix.
Elastic recommends upgrading to one of these fixed versions or a later
release verified to contain the fix, and reviewing the known issues for
your target version before upgrading.

For Users that Cannot Upgrade:

        There are no workarounds for this vulnerability.

Indicators of Compromise (IOC)

No specific indicators of compromise have been identified for this
vulnerability.

Severity: CVSSv3.1: Medium ( 6.8 ) - CVSS:3.1/AV:A/AC:L/PR:H/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:H/A:H
CVE ID: CVE-2026-115706

Insertion of Sensitive Information into Externally-Accessible File or
Directory in Elastic Cloud Enterprise (ECE) Leading to Privilege
Escalation

Insertion of Sensitive Information into Externally-Accessible File or
Directory (CWE-538) in Elastic Cloud Enterprise (ECE) can lead to
privilege escalation via Retrieve Embedded Sensitive Data (CAPEC-37).
After the ECE certificate rotation procedure runs, data that it
retains contains platform credentials and certificate authority
private keys, and lower-privileged platform components can read this
data. An attacker who controls any host in the installation can use
this data to get full control of the ECE control plane and of the
deployments that it manages.


Affected Versions:

        2.x and 3.x: All versions from 2.6.0 up to and including
3.8.5
        4.x: All versions from 4.0.0 up to and including 4.2.0

Affected Configurations:

        Only ECE installations on which the certificate rotation
procedure was run are affected. Exploitation requires administrative
access to at least one host in the ECE installation, or access to
the internal ECE platform services from the network. ECE hosts and
the internal ECE network are intended to be accessible only to
trusted administrators. This deployment model limits exposure to
this vulnerability.


Solutions and Mitigations:

The issue is resolved in version 3.8.6 and 4.2.1.

The versions above are the first releases verified to contain the
fix.
Elastic recommends upgrading to one of these fixed versions or a
later release verified to contain the fix, and reviewing the known
issues for your target version before upgrading.

If the certificate rotation procedure was run on your installation,
run the cleanup command of the certificate rotation procedure from
a host that has the director role after you upgrade. This removes
the retained rotation data from the installation. ECE does not
currently provide a procedure to rotate the ZooKeeper root password
or the certificate authority keys.

For Users that Cannot Upgrade:

        If the certificate rotation procedure was run on your
installation, run its cleanup command from a host that has the
director role. Do not run the certificate rotation procedure again
until you upgrade to a fixed version.


Indicators of Compromise (IOC)

No specific indicators of compromise have been identified for this
vulnerability.

Improper Link Resolution Before File Access ('Link Following') in
Elastic Cloud Enterprise (ECE) Leading to Authentication Bypass

Improper Link Resolution Before File Access ('Link Following') (CWE-59)
in Elastic Cloud Enterprise (ECE) can lead to authentication bypass
and unauthorized changes to the configuration of other deployments
on the same host via Symlink Attack (CAPEC-132).


Affected Versions:

        1.x, 2.x and 3.x: All versions from 1.0.0 up to and including
3.8.5
        4.x: All versions from 4.0.0 up to and including 4.2.0

Affected Configurations:

        ECE installations that run more than one deployment on the
same allocator host. Exploitation requires that an attacker can run
code inside an Elasticsearch deployment container, for example
through custom bundles or plugins, or through another vulnerability.


Solutions and Mitigations:

The issue is resolved in version 3.8.6 and 4.2.1.

The versions above are the first releases verified to contain the fix.
Elastic recommends upgrading to one of these fixed versions or a later

(CWE-59) in Elastic Cloud Enterprise (ECE) can lead to unauthorized

Insertion of Sensitive Information into Externally-Accessible File or
Directory in Elastic Cloud Enterprise (ECE) Leading to Credential
Disclosure

Insertion of Sensitive Information into Externally-Accessible File or
Directory (CWE-538) in Elastic Cloud Enterprise (ECE) can lead to
credential disclosure via Retrieve Embedded Sensitive Data (CAPEC-37).
ECE stores runtime information about platform service containers in a
location that lower-privileged platform components can read, and this
information includes secrets from the container configuration. An
attacker with access to the internal ECE platform services can obtain
these secrets, which include role tokens. A role token can let the
attacker add an unauthorized host to the installation with the roles
of that token.


Affected Versions:

        1.x, 2.x and 3.x: All versions from 1.0.0 up to and including
3.8.5
        4.x: All versions from 4.0.0 up to and including 4.2.0


Affected Configurations:

        All ECE installations on affected versions are affected. The risk
is higher if hosts were added with persistent role tokens. Exploitation
requires access to the internal ECE platform services from the network,
or administrative access to a host in the installation. ECE hosts and
the internal ECE network are intended to be accessible only to trusted
administrators. This deployment model limits exposure to this
vulnerability.


Solutions and Mitigations:

The issue is resolved in version 3.8.6 and 4.2.1.

The versions above are the first releases verified to contain the fix.
Elastic recommends upgrading to one of these fixed versions or a later
release verified to contain the fix, and reviewing the known issues for
your target version before upgrading.

After you upgrade all hosts, revoke the persistent role tokens that you
no longer need. To add hosts in the future, use new role tokens, and
prefer ephemeral role tokens.

For Users that Cannot Upgrade:

        Revoke the persistent role tokens that you no longer need. To
add hosts, use ephemeral role tokens.

Indicators of Compromise (IOC)

Hosts in the ECE platform host list that your organization did not
add can indicate exploitation of this vulnerability.

Improper Link Resolution Before File Access ('Link Following')
(CWE-59) in Elastic Cloud Enterprise (ECE) can lead to unauthorized
read and write access to data of other deployments on the same host
via Symlink Attack (CAPEC-132).


Affected Versions:

        4.x: All versions from 4.1.0 up to and including 4.2.0
