You can use boost param in match query to boost specific query clause like below:

{
  "query": {
    "bool": {
      "should": [
        {
          "match": {
            "attack_id": {
              "query": "T1592",
              "boost": 6
            }
          }
        },
        {
          "match": {
            "name": {
              "query": "T1592",
              "boost": 3
            }
          }
        },
        {
          "match": {
            "description": {
              "query": "T1592"
            }
          }
        }
      ]
    }
  }
}

Note: You may need to increase or decrease boost value as per your need.
