Summary

Improper Authorization in Elastic Cloud Enterprise can lead to Privilege Escalation where the built-in readonly user can call APIs that should not be allowed. The affected APIs include operations on service accounts, users, and API keys.

Risk Assessment

An attacker with readonly privileges could perform unauthorized operations such as creating or deleting accounts and keys, potentially leading to system compromise.

Recommendation

Update Elastic Cloud Enterprise to a version containing the authorization fix or restrict access to the listed APIs for readonly users.
