Security issues

Responsible Vulnerability Disclosure

Elastic appreciates our partnership with the security community and shares the goal of keeping our users and the internet safe. Please report potential security vulnerabilities affecting any of Elastic's products, the Elastic Cloud Service, or the elastic.co website via our HackerOne bug bounty program. For detailed scope and rules of engagement please refer to our HackerOne program policy

Under the principles of Coordinated Vulnerability Disclosure, Elastic analyzes potential security vulnerabilities to identify any recommended mitigations or product updates and coordinates disclosures via Elastic Security Advisories (ESA) and the CVE program. Elastic requests that you do not post or share any information about potential vulnerabilities in any public forum until we have researched and responded to the issue.

Other security issues

This address can be used for product security related inquiries or requests about other security topics that are not explicitly mentioned here. We can accept only security issues at this address. Bug reports should be directed to the bug database of the project you're reporting it on or raised to Elastic Support.

Elastic Security Advisories

An Elastic Security Advisory (ESA) is a notice from Elastic to its users of security issues with the Elastic products. Elastic assigns both a CVE and an ESA identifier to each advisory along with a summary and remediation and mitigation details. All new advisories are announced in the Security Announcements forum. These announcements may be tracked by clicking the bell icon -> 'Watching' on the forum page or directly via an RSS feed.
