CVE-2017-3161

Name of the Vulnerable Software and Affected Versions Apache Hadoop versions prior to 2.7.0

Description The issue concerns a cross-site scripting (XSS) attack. It occurs through an unescaped query parameter in the HDFS web UI. This allows for potential malicious script injection and execution.

Recommendations For versions prior to 2.7.0, update to version 2.7.0 or later to resolve the issue. As a temporary workaround, consider restricting access to the HDFS web UI to minimize the risk of exploitation.
