Name of the Vulnerable Software and Affected Versions:
Apache Kylin versions 2.3.0 through 2.6.5
Apache Kylin version 3.0.1
Description:
The issue is related to the RESTful APIs in Apache Kylin, which concatenate OS commands with user input strings without proper protection or validation, allowing a user to potentially execute any OS command. This could enable a remote attacker to execute arbitrary commands.
Recommendations:
For Apache Kylin versions 2.3.0 through 2.6.5, consider disabling the vulnerable RESTful APIs until a patch is available.
For Apache Kylin version 3.0.1, restrict access to the affected APIs to minimize the risk of exploitation.
As a temporary workaround, avoid using user input strings in the affected API endpoints until the issue is resolved.
