Description PRE-NVD

Disclosed via oss-security. NVD scoring and full description are pending.

AnalysisAI

Privilege enforcement failure in Apache Accumulo 2.1.4 and 2.1.5 allows any authenticated low-privileged user - one without system-level permissions - to remotely trigger graceful shutdown of critical cluster services including the manager, tserver, gc, compactor, compaction-coordinator, monitor, and sserver. The result is a denial of service against the distributed data store, disrupting availability for all cluster consumers until an administrator manually restarts the affected components. …

Attack ChainAIDerived

Hypothetical attack flow derived from CVE metadata

Access
Obtain valid low-privileged Accumulo user credentials
Delivery
Establish remote network connection to Accumulo cluster RPC endpoint
Exploit
Issue graceful shutdown command targeting critical service (manager/tserver/gc)
Execution
Target service initiates and completes graceful shutdown
Impact
Cluster availability disrupted until administrator restarts affected components

Vulnerability AssessmentAI

Exploitation Exploitation requires a valid Accumulo user account that has been granted cluster access but has NOT been granted the Accumulo SYSTEM-level permission - meaning any standard end-user account qualifies. … Additional conditions and limiting factors are described in the full assessment.
Risk Assessment Real-world risk is moderate and appropriately categorized as such by the Apache project. … Full risk analysis with EPSS, KEV, and SSVC signal comparison available after sign-in.
Exploit Scenario An attacker with access to any valid Accumulo user account on a cluster running version 2.1.4 or 2.1.5 connects remotely using standard Accumulo client tooling and issues a graceful shutdown command targeting the manager or tablet servers. No special exploit code is required beyond knowledge of the Accumulo administrative API or shell client. …
Remediation Upgrade to Apache Accumulo 2.1.6, the current Long-Term Maintenance release, which directly addresses this privilege enforcement failure. … Detailed patch versions, workarounds, and compensating controls in full report.

Recommended ActionAI

Within 24 hours, identify all systems running Apache Accumulo 2.1.4 or 2.1.5 and assess exposure within your environment. …
