You can upgrade - there is even a great blog about the topic: > **[How To: Upgrade from Open Distro to OpenSearch](https://opensearch.org/blog/technical-posts/2021/07/how-to-upgrade-from-opendistro-to-opensearch/)** > > As general availability for OpenSearch and OpenSearch Dashboards is fast approaching, we wanted to provide some guidance on upgrading Open Distro for Elasticsearch (Open Distro) 1.13 to the OpenSearch 1.0 as well as some step to help you prepare."...... Open Distro 1.13.2 needs to be upgraded or mitigated for Log4j. OpenSearch and Open Distro are similar in use, different in construction. Open Distro is a collection of tools and plugins that sit on top of **builds** of OSS Elasticsearch and Kibana (in your case version 7.10.2). OpenSearch is a **fork** of OSS Elasticsearch and Kibana (version 7.10.2) paired with an evolution of the tools and plugins used in Open Distro. All new development is going towards OpenSearch. ---

There is no package for 1.13.3 ☹. More info: > [@Log4j2 vulnerability in OpenSearch](https://forum.opensearch.org/t/log4j2-vulnerability-in-opensearch/7935/15): > > The Open Distro deb and rpm packages are built on top of the upstream Elasticsearch deb and rpm packages, and those upstream packages are what contains the Log4j2 jars. So we’ve been looking really hard at what the options are for distributing a release that contains a fix, and there are fewer options here than there are for the .tgz and Docker builds. Right now it looks like we’d need to develop a deb & rpm packaging process more or less from scratch, and doing that in a way that retains backw…
