Description

This module exploits a memory disclosure vulnerability in Elasticsearch
7.10.0 to 7.13.3 (inclusive). A user with the ability to submit arbitrary
queries to Elasticsearch can generate an error message containing previously
used portions of a data buffer.
This buffer could contain sensitive information such as Elasticsearch
documents or authentication details. This vulnerability's output is similar
to heartbleed.
