Machine-written summary

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

The opensearch-security plugin, versions before 2.11.0.0 and before 1.3.14.0 (for the 1.x line, including 2.0.0.0 and later within that range), lets authenticated users with read-only access to a tenant create, edit and delete index metadata for dashboards and visualizations in that tenant. An attacker with such an account could make those objects unavailable, though index data and read access are not affected. Upgrade to 2.11.0.0 or 1.3.14.0; as a workaround, disable the tenants functionality.
