An authenticated user may submit a specially crafted query to the ES|QL engine that causes exponential CPU consumption during query evaluation. Because the resource exhaustion persists beyond query completion, repeated requests can fully exhaust the available query worker resources, rendering ES|QL queries unavailable until the node is restarted."

Un usuario autenticado puede enviar una consulta especialmente diseñada al motor ES|QL que causa un consumo exponencial de CPU durante la evaluación de la consulta. Debido a que el agotamiento de recursos persiste más allá de la finalización de la consulta, las solicitudes repetidas pueden agotar completamente los recursos disponibles del trabajador de consultas, dejando las consultas ES|QL no disponibles hasta que se reinicie el nodo."
