{"apiVersion":"1.0","identifier":"CVE-2026-72683","description":"A flaw in Elasticsearch allows an authenticated user with the privileges required to invoke the simulate pipeline API endpoint (https://www.elastic.co/docs/api/doc/elasticsearch/operation/operation-ingest-simulate) to submit a request that causes a self-referential data structure to be created. When a specific internal component later processes that structure, the operation recurses without bound and raises a fatal error that is not handled by the surrounding execution path, terminating the affected node process and resulting in a denial of service.","publishedAt":"2026-08-13T20:17:28","lastModifiedAt":"2026-08-28T15:32:26","sourceUrl":"https://nvd.nist.gov/vuln/detail/CVE-2026-72683","cvssScore":6.5,"cvssVector":"CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:L/PR:L/UI:N/S:U/C:N/I:N/A:H","epssProbability":0.0036,"riskScore":0.67,"affectedProduct":"Elasticsearch","affectedVersions":"unknown","vulnerabilityType":"Web app","operatingSystems":[],"links":{"self":"https://www.redsauce.net/api/cves/CVE-2026-72683","webPages":{"es":"https://www.redsauce.net/es/cves/CVE-2026-72683","en":"https://www.redsauce.net/en/cves/CVE-2026-72683","fr":"https://www.redsauce.net/fr/cves/CVE-2026-72683","pt":"https://www.redsauce.net/pt/cves/CVE-2026-72683","de":"https://www.redsauce.net/de/cves/CVE-2026-72683","sk":"https://www.redsauce.net/sk/cves/CVE-2026-72683","el":"https://www.redsauce.net/el/cves/CVE-2026-72683"},"source":"https://nvd.nist.gov/vuln/detail/CVE-2026-72683"}}
