CVE-2024-52279:
Java vulnerability analysis and mitigation
Overview
CVE-2024-52279 is an Improper Input Validation vulnerability discovered in Apache Zeppelin. The vulnerability exists because the fix for JDBC URL validation in CVE-2024-31864 did not properly account for URL encoded input. This vulnerability affects Apache Zeppelin versions from 0.11.1 before 0.12.0 (NVD, OSS Security).
Technical details
The vulnerability is classified as CWE-20 (Improper Input Validation). The issue specifically relates to the JDBC interpreter's URL validation mechanism, where the previous fix for URL validation failed to properly handle URL-encoded input, potentially allowing malicious configurations to bypass security checks (NVD).
Impact
The vulnerability could potentially allow an attacker to perform arbitrary file read operations by adding malicious JDBC connection strings. This could lead to unauthorized access to sensitive files on the system (OSS Security).
Mitigation and workarounds
Users are recommended to upgrade to Apache Zeppelin version 0.12.0, which contains the fix for this vulnerability. The fix includes proper validation of decoded URLs in the JDBC interpreter to prevent bypass of security checks (NVD).
