"A permission issue was found in Elasticsearch when Field Level
Security and Document Level Security are disabled and the _aliases,
_shrink, or _split endpoints are used . If the elasticsearch.yml file
has xpack.security.dls_fls.enabled set to false, certain permission
checks are skipped when users perform one of the actions mentioned
above, to make existing data available under a new index/alias name.
This could result in an attacker gaining additional permissions
against a restricted index.");

unable to upgrade can change the xpack.security.dls_fls.enabled
setting to true in their elasticsearch.yml file. The default setting
