Machine-written summary

Summary written by Claude Haiku from the source advisory. Not reviewed by a person.

Elasticsearch versions before 7.17.16 and from 8.0.0 before 8.11.2 are affected. When Watcher's search input runs at DEBUG log level or finer, it writes raw search query results, including document contents, to the logs. Only deployments that use Watcher search inputs and have enabled DEBUG logging for them are affected. Upgrade to 7.17.16 or 8.11.2, which remove this logging.
