CVE-2014-3120 in elasticsearch
The LogPulse agent checks every host for the vulnerable version of this software, so you see where the CVE is present.
What the vulnerability is
The default configuration in Elasticsearch before 1.2 enables dynamic scripting, which allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary MVEL expressions and Java code via the source parameter to _search. NOTE: this only violates the vendor's intended security policy if the user does not run Elasticsearch in its own independent virtual machine.
Affected software: elasticsearch
