We are releasing today a new security bug fix release for Search Guard 52. It fixes a security issue which affects only users who are using filter-level DLS.

Filter-level DLS was introduced in Search Guard 52.0; in the default configuration, it is only active when you are using term-lookup queries as DSL queries in the `sg_roles.yml` file. Alternatively, it can be enabled using the configuration option `searchguard.dls.mode: filter_level`.

If you are using filter-level DLS, we are strongly recommending to update soon to Search Guard 52.6.
