The opensearch-security plugin for OpenSearch, versions before 1.3.14.0 and from 2.0.0.0 before 2.11.0.0, is vulnerable. An unauthenticated remote user can send a moderate number of malformed HTTP requests, causing a node to exit with an OutOfMemory error. Upgrade opensearch-security to 1.3.14.0 or 2.11.0.0.
