We are releasing today a new security bug fix release for Search Guard 53. It fixes a security issue which affects only users who are using document level security (DLS). A flaw was discovered in the DLS implementation where single attributes values could be exposed to a user, even if the user does not have privileges to access documents containing these attribute values. - [Release Notes](https://docs.search-guard.com/latest/changelog-searchguard-7x-53_1_0) - [Downloads](https://docs.search-guard.com/latest/search-guard-versions) Search Guard (®) is an Elasticsearch plugin that offers encryption, authentication, and authorization.
