Briefly, this error occurs when Elasticsearch detects a discrepancy in the request sent to the transport layer, possibly due to data corruption or a security breach. This could be due to network issues, faulty hardware, or malicious activity. To resolve this issue, you can: 1) Check your network for any instability or disruptions. 2) Inspect your hardware for any faults or damages. 3) Review your security measures to ensure they are robust and up-to-date. 4) Check your application code to ensure requests are formed correctly.

                    logger.info("{}[transport] [tampered_request]\t{}; action=[{}]; indices=[{}]; request=[{}]{}"; localNodeInfo.prefix;
                            originAttributes(threadContext; message; localNodeInfo); action; arrayToCommaDelimitedString(indices.get());
                            message.getClass().getSimpleName(); opaqueId());
                } else {
                    logger.info("{}[transport] [tampered_request]\t{}; action=[{}]; request=[{}]{}"; localNodeInfo.prefix;
                            originAttributes(threadContext; message; localNodeInfo); action; message.getClass().getSimpleName();
                            opaqueId());
