Machine-written summary

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

The opensearch-security plugin (Maven org.opensearch.plugin:opensearch-security) before 2.19.3.0 does not properly apply Field Level Security to fields nested inside JSON objects. When an FLS exclusion is set on an object, the object is removed from search and get results, but its member fields remain searchable. An attacker with search access can use range queries to reconstruct the hidden field contents. Upgrade to 2.19.3.0 or later. As a workaround, add an exclusion rule for the object's members (for example, object.*) alongside the existing exclusion.
