CVE-2024-41169: 
Java vulnerability analysis and mitigation

Apache Zeppelin versions from 0.10.1 up to 0.12.0 contain a security vulnerability (CVE-2024-41169) where attackers can exploit the raft server protocol without authentication. This vulnerability allows unauthorized access to server resources, including directories and files (NVD).

The vulnerability has been assigned a CVSS v3.1 base score of 7.5 (HIGH) with the vector string CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:N/A:N, indicating network accessibility, low attack complexity, and no required privileges or user interaction. The vulnerability is categorized under CWE-664 (Improper Control of a Resource Through its Lifetime) (NVD, CISA-ADP).

The vulnerability enables unauthorized access to server resources, allowing attackers to view directories and files on the affected Apache Zeppelin server. This represents a significant confidentiality breach in the system (NVD).

The vulnerability requires no authentication and can be exploited remotely through the raft server protocol, making it highly exploitable. The low attack complexity and absence of required privileges or user interaction increase the risk (NVD).

Users are strongly recommended to upgrade to Apache Zeppelin version 0.12.0, which addresses the vulnerability by completely removing the Cluster Interpreter component. This fix was implemented through a pull request that removed the cluster interpreter and associated components (NVD, GitHub PR).
