CVE-2017-8442 (https://nvd.nist.gov/vuln/detail/CVE-2017-8442):

Elasticsearch X-Pack Security versions 5.0.0 to 5.4.3, when enabled, can result in the Elasticsearch _nodes API leaking sensitive configuration information, such as the paths and passphrases of SSL keys that were configured as part of an authentication realm. This could allow an authenticated Elasticsearch user to improperly view these details.


@maintainer(s): since the fixed version is already in the tree, please remove the affected versions.

Actually, we don't install the x-pack at all. It's a subscription based add-on for Elasticsearch/Kibana.
