## Overview

APM server logs contain document body from a partially failed bulk index request. For example, in case of unavailable_shards_exception for a specific document, since the ES response line contains the document body, and that APM server logs the ES response line on error, the document is effectively logged.

## Affected packages

- `github.com/elastic/apm-server < 8.14.0`

## Remediation

Upgrade to a patched release:

- `github.com/elastic/apm-server 8.14.0`
