The Red Hat advisory linked does not specify an official fix or workaround. Until a patch is available, restrict access to users with privileges to create or modify connectors and monitor for suspicious configuration changes. Follow updates from Elastic and Red Hat for official remediation.
Description
External Control of File Name or Path (CWE-73) combined with Server-Side Request Forgery (CWE-918) can allow an attacker to cause arbitrary file disclosure through a specially crafted credentials JSON payload in the Google Gemini connector configuration. This requires an attacker to have authenticated access with privileges sufficient to create or modify connectors (Alerts & Connectors: All). The server processes a configuration without proper validation, allowing for arbitrary network requests and for arbitrary file reads.
