    CVE-2026-72656Source published Source updated

    Memory Allocation with Excessive Size Value (CWE-789) in the ES|QL query processing of Elasticsearch can lead to denial of service via Excessive Allocation (CAPEC-130). An authenticated user able to submit ES|QL queries could send a specially crafted query whose evaluation allocates an unbounded amount of heap memory, exhausting the available heap on the receiving node and causing the node to become unavailable. A flaw was found in Elasticsearch. This excessive memory consumption exhausts the available resources on the receiving node, leading to a denial of service (DoS) condition where the node becomes unavailable.
