**Name of the Vulnerable Software and Affected Versions** Elasticsearch Logstash versions prior to 1.4.3 **Description** A directory traversal issue exists in the file output plugin, allowing remote attackers to write to arbitrary files through dynamic field references in the path option. **Recommendations** For versions prior to 1.4.3, update to version 1.4.3 or later to resolve the issue. As a temporary workaround, consider restricting access to the file output plugin to minimize the risk of exploitation.
