A low-privileged authenticated user can submit a specially crafted query that causes uncontrolled memory growth in the query processing engine, resulting in an out-of-memory condition that terminates the Elasticsearch node. The condition can be triggered repeatedly, including by queries embedded in shared resources, causing persistent cluster unavailability.","state":0,"publishedAt":"2026-10-06T19:31:34.716+00:00","modifiedAt":"2026-10-06T19:57:23.769+00:00","affected":[{"ecosystem":"Vendor product","name":"Elasticsearch","ranges":[],"versions":[],"rawVersionEvidence":"{\n                    \"defaultStatus\": \"unaffected\",\n                    \"product\": \"Elasticsearch\",\n                    \"vendor\": \"Elastic\",\n                    \"versions\": [\n                        {\n                            \"status\": \"affected\",\n                            \"versionType\": \"semver\",\n                            \"version\": \"8.0.0\",\n                            \"lessThanOrEqual\": \"8.19.22\"\n                        },\n                        {\n                            \"status\": \"affected\",\n                            \"versionType\": \"semver\",\n                            \"version\": \"9.0.0\",\n                            \"lessThanOrEqual\": \"9.4.7\"\n                        },\n                        {\n                            \"status\": \"affected\",\n                            \"versionType\": \"semver\",\n                            \"version\": \"9.5.0\",\n                            \"lessThanOrEqual\": \"9.5.4\"\n                        }\n                    ]\n                }"}],"metrics":[{"system":"CVSS 3.1","vector":"CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:L/PR:L/UI:N/S:U/C:N/I:N/A:H","score":6.5,"severity":"MEDIUM"}],"references":["https://discuss.elastic.co/t/elasticsearch-8-19-23-9-4-8-9-5-5-security-update-esa-2026-185/390859"],"sourceUrl":"https://www.cve.org/CVERecord?id=CVE-2026-102404","license":"CVE Program Terms of Use","key":"cve-program:CVE-2026-102404","identifiers":["CVE-2026-102404"]},"retained":false,"historicalAffected":[]}],"coverage":[]}
