AnalysisAI

Remote code execution in Apache Impala 2.7.0 through 4.5.1 allows an authorized user with table-creation and remote-storage upload privileges to load and execute arbitrary Java classes on Impala daemon nodes by exploiting insufficient authorization controls over External Data Source tables. The vulnerability abuses Impala's legitimate extensibility feature - Data Source tables - which permits custom Java class loading from remote storage; insufficient authorization checks mean any user holding those two combined privileges can weaponize the feature for server-side code execution. …

Vulnerability AssessmentAI

Exploitation Two specific privileges must be held simultaneously: (1) write access to a remote storage location (HDFS path, S3 bucket, or equivalent) that is accessible by the Impala cluster daemons, and (2) the Impala authorization privilege to CREATE a table with DATA SOURCE syntax - a privilege that is legitimately granted to data engineers and analysts in typical deployments. … Additional conditions and limiting factors are described in the full assessment.
Risk Assessment The severity is classified as 'important' by Apache, consistent with an authenticated but exploitable RCE path. … Full risk analysis with EPSS, KEV, and SSVC signal comparison available after sign-in.
Exploit Scenario Full exploit scenario with step-by-step reproduction available after sign-in.
Remediation Vendor-released patch: Apache Impala 4.5.2. … Detailed patch versions, workarounds, and compensating controls in full report.

Recommended ActionAI

Within 24 hours, inventory all Apache Impala deployments and identify systems running versions 2.7.0 through 4.5.1; immediately audit and restrict table-creation and remote-storage upload privileges to trusted users only. …
