AnalysisAI

The RPC protocol implementation in Apache Hadoop 2.x before 2.0.6-alpha, 0.23.x before 0.23.9, and 1.x before 1.2.1, when the Kerberos security features are enabled, allows man-in-the-middle. Rated low severity (CVSS 3.2). This Improper Authentication vulnerability could allow attackers to bypass authentication mechanisms to gain unauthorized access.

RemediationAI

A vendor patch is available. Apply the latest security update as soon as possible. Implement multi-factor authentication, enforce strong password policies, use proven authentication frameworks.
