Attack profile from CVSS 3.1 · CISA ADP. Fix status from CNA and GitHub. Impact type from CWE-532.
Summary
A vulnerability. When org.apache.linkis.metadata.util.HiveUtils.decode() fails to perform Base64 decoding, it records the complete input parameter string in the log via logger.error(str + "decode failed", e). If the input parameter contains sensitive information such as Hive Metastore keys, plaintext passwords will be left in the log files when decoding fails, resulting in information leakage. Affected Scope Component: Sensitive fields in hive-site.xml (e.g., javax.jdo.option.ConnectionPassword) or other fields encoded in Base64. Version: Apache Linkis 1.0.0 – 1.7.0 Trigger Conditions The value of the configuration item is an invalid Base64 string. Log files are readable by users other than hive-site.xml administrators. Severity: Low The probability of Base64 decoding failure is low. The leakage is only triggered when logs at the Error level are exposed. Remediation Apache Linkis 1.8.0 and later versions have replaced the log with desensitized content. logger.error("URL decode failed: {}", e.getMessage()); // 不再输出 str Users are recommended to upgrade to version 1.8.0, which fixes the issue.
