ent_search_connectors. Edit this ingest pipeline to customize how data is transformed before indexing.
Bug fixes
edit-
The web crawler now uses
UTF-8encoding by default for responses without a specified charset, instead ofISO-8859-1. Adjust the newcrawler.http.default_encodingconfiguration to override this behavior. -
Addressed a potential SSRF vulnerability for external connector packages by disallowing redirects away from the configured host.
Disallowed
localhostexternal URLs for connector packages, unless explicitly configured. - GitHub sync failed when there was any empty repository. Solved so sync continues normally.
