Various configuration fields such as ES_HOST, ES_INDEXREFRESH, ES_PORT, ES_SCROLLSIZE, ES_TRANSLOGSIZE, ES_TRANSLOGSYNCINT, EXCLUDES_FILES, FILE_TYPES[], INCLUDES_DIRS, INCLUDES_FILES, and TIMEZONE do not properly sanitize user-supplied input. Malicious payloads submitted via these parameters are persisted in the application and executed whenever an administrator views or edits the settings page.",
