What's the source of these values? I recommend adding a comment in case we need to refresh the list in the future.

ArrayList results = new ArrayList();
Long accessMask = Long.decode(ctx.winlog.event_data.AccessMask);
for (entry in params.AccessMaskDescriptions.entrySet()) {
Long accessFlag = Long.decode(entry.getKey());

Ideally it would store the key as a long in order to avoid having to repeatedly parse each string to a number. But IIRC there is a bug in that hex values are always strings anyways (elastic/elasticsearch#66555). So you would have to convert the values to decimal to make that work. Not sure it's worth the loss in clarity.

We have similar logic in a few other places. I think I'll leave it as is for now, and we can change them all to Longs. We should be able to keep clarity with some well placed comments.

- According to MS documentation and AccessList contains a space
  separated list of access masks and AccessMask contains an integer.
- Old code treated AccessMask as if it was a space separated list
  of access masks, this was causing script errors.
- Fix code to treat AccessList as space separated list of access masks
- Add new code to parse AccessMask correctly
