Any signed-in user can exploit it over the network, with no action from the victim.\nExploitation: There is no known exploitation of CVE-2026-102409 in the wild and no public exploit code.\n\nAffected packages and fixed versions:\n- elasticsearch (Bitnami): affected from 9.2.0; fixed in 9.4.8, 9.5.5\n\nTask:\n1. Search the dependency manifests and lockfiles (for example package.json, package-lock.json, requirements.txt, poetry.lock, uv.lock, pom.xml, build.gradle, go.mod, Cargo.lock, Gemfile.lock) and any Dockerfiles for the affected packages, including transitive dependencies.\n2. If an affected version is in use, upgrade it to the fixed version for its release line with the project's package manager, so the lockfile is regenerated. Prefer the smallest upgrade that fixes it.\n3. If there is no fix, or the upgrade would break the build, do not guess: explain the risk and the safest workaround instead.\n4. Run the tests and summarise what changed and why.\n5. If nothing in the project is affected, say so and change nothing.\n\nReference: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2026-102409/ (Markdown: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2026-102409/index.md)","id":"CVE-2026-102409","markdown":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2026-102409/index.md","name":"CVE-2026-102409","record":{"aliases":["BIT-elasticsearch-2026-102409","GHSA-6g39-jvf9-2rf9","MINI-2pg9-f8q4-w6qj","MINI-335g-f4hp-x3vx","MINI-3gvp-cfvg-8p5v","MINI-47fr-84wj-q39g","MINI-84fh-m8ww-2mjw","MINI-fwrc-q6w9-94gj","MINI-j7v7-h34h-c2v3","MINI-rf7m-2qmr-xq52"],"analysis":{"component_type":"server_software","fix_type":"upgrade","impacts":["denial_of_service"],"network_reachable":"yes","non_default_config":false,"product_category":"Elasticsearch search engine","requires_auth":"low_privilege","summary":"An authenticated low-privilege user can crash an Elasticsearch node via uncontrolled recursion, causing denial of service.","user_interaction":"not_required","vuln_class":"denial_of_service"},"analysis_generated_by":"qwen3.8-flash-next","assigner":"elastic","cpe":[{"product":"elasticsearch","vendor":"elastic"}],"cvss":{"score":6.5,"severity":"medium","source":"cna","vector":"CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:L/PR:L/UI:N/S:U/C:N/I:N/A:H","version":"3.1"},"cwes":[{"id":"CWE-674","name":"Uncontrolled Recursion"}],"description":"Uncontrolled Recursion (CWE-674) in Elasticsearch can allow an authenticated user with low privileges to terminate an Elasticsearch node, resulting in denial of service, via Excessive Allocation (CAPEC-130).","ecosystems":["Bitnami"],"exploits":{"exploitdb":0,"first_seen":null,"github_poc":0,"max_poc_stars":null,"metasploit":0,"nuclei":0,"refs":[],"tier":"none_known"},"has_fix":true,"headline":"Uncontrolled Recursion in Elasticsearch Leading to Denial of Service","id":"CVE-2026-102409","indexable":true,"kev":null,"kind":"cve","links":{"ecosystem":"Bitnami","product":"elastic:elasticsearch","products":["elastic:elasticsearch"],"type":"denial_of_service","year":"2026"},"n_packages":1,"n_references":1,"next":{"headline":"Missing Authorization in Kibana Leading to Information Disclosure","id":"CVE-2026-102410"},"packages":[{"ecosystem":"Bitnami","fixed":["9.4.8","9.5.5"],"introduced":["9.2.0","9.5.0"],"last_affected":[],"package":"elasticsearch","purl":"pkg:bitnami/elasticsearch","source":"BIT-elasticsearch-2026-102409"}],"prev":{"headline":"Inefficient Regular Expression Complexity in Elasticsearch Leading to Denial of Service","id":"CVE-2026-102408"},"products":["Elasticsearch"],"published":"2026-10-06","related":[{"cvss_score":9.8,"headline":"Elasticsearch Groovy Scripting Engine Remote Code Execution","id":"CVE-2015-1427","kev_date_added":"2022-03-25","published":"2015-02-17"},{"cvss_score":8.1,"headline":"Elasticsearch Remote Code Execution","id":"CVE-2014-3120","kev_date_added":"2022-03-25","published":"2014-07-28"},{"cvss_score":9.8,"headline":"Code injection in n/a","id":"CVE-2015-5377","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2018-03-06"},{"cvss_score":8.8,"headline":"Deserialization of Untrusted Data in Elasticsearch Leading to Remote Code Execution","id":"CVE-2026-72649","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2026-09-01"},{"cvss_score":8.8,"headline":"Use of Out-of-range Pointer Offset in the Elasticsearch Machine Learning Native Inference Process","id":"CVE-2026-72642","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2026-08-13"},{"cvss_score":8.8,"headline":"Privilege Escalation Flaw in Elasticsearch","id":"CVE-2020-7014","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2020-06-03"},{"cvss_score":8.8,"headline":"Improper Privilege Management in Elasticsearch","id":"CVE-2020-7009","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2020-03-31"}],"sources":[{"class":"attribution","licence":"Apache-2.0","name":"Bitnami","prefix":"BIT"},{"class":"attribution","licence":"CVE Terms of Use (MITRE)","name":"CVE List","prefix":"CVE"},{"class":"attribution","licence":"US public information, NVD API terms","name":"NVD"},{"class":"attribution","licence":"CWE Terms of Use","name":"CWE (MITRE)"},{"class":"attribution","licence":"FIRST CVSS licence","name":"CVSS (FIRST)"}],"ssvc":{"automatable":"no","exploitation":"none","technical_impact":"partial"},"state":"PUBLISHED","updated":"2026-10-06","vendors":["Elastic"]},"summary":"An authenticated low-privilege user can crash an Elasticsearch node via uncontrolled recursion, causing denial of service.","url":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2026-102409/"}
