CVE-2024-37286: APM Server vulnerable to Insertion of Sensitive Information into Log File

August 3, 2024 (updated August 5, 2024)

APM server logs contain document body from a partially failed bulk index request. For example, in case of unavailable_shards_exception for a specific document, since the ES response line contains the document body, and that APM server logs the ES response line on error, the document is effectively logged.
