Additional Information
General note on CVEs affecting Elasticsearch
The Elasticsearch 7 server runtime included in Liferay DXP Tomcat Bundles and Docker Images (aka. Sidecar Elasticsearch, located under [Liferay-Home]/elasticsearch-sidecar) is neither suitable nor supported for production. It is provided as a convenience for local development and testing only. Instead, configure Liferay to connect to Elasticsearch as a self-managed, standalone server or cluster of server nodes.
The Sidecar Elasticsearch (including all of its bundled plugins and libraries) cannot be patched or updated through Liferay hotfixes. Liferay does not possess additional vulnerability and exploitability information beyond that provided in public security alerts by Elastic. The Sidecar Elasticsearch version is updated periodically with newer Liferay DXP Quarterly Releases.
General note on CVEs affecting Kibana
Liferay DXP and the Liferay Enterprise Search Monitoring application which integrates Kibana's UI as a proxy into Liferay DXP, do not include the binaries of the Kibana application itself. It is not possible to patch or update Kibana through the installation of Liferay hotfixes or upgrading to newer quarterly releases. In addition, Liferay does not have further information about the vulnerabilities and their exploit-ability beyond what's shared in the public security alerts issued by the vendor (Elastic).
Search Engine Compatibility
Liferay recommends that customers upgrade their production Elastic Stack to the latest available and compatible version. Reference the information here for the detailed Elasticsearch compatibility including the compatible connector versions and required quarterly release/update versions and patch levels.
