Elasticsearch defaults to support dynamic querys, which introduces a risk for remote code execution. This is supposedly disabled by default in newer versions of ES, but for now, I suggest setting it to false in the default configuration is better than nothing.

For more information, please see http://bouk.co/blog/elasticsearch-rce/

Hello @jannylund,
For information, you can actually configure your specific settings of elacticsearch by define your specific config on your application.conf.

elasticsearch.config.resource="elasticsearch-specific.yml"

@nboire yes, I know, I did that in my app. But this still makes sense to disable unless someone specifically needs it activated.

We got compromised server by this security hole, some default config after instalation would be welcomed in future.
