Apache StreamPark Patched Two Flaws -CVE-2023-49898 & CVE-2023-30867 – to Potential Trouble

In the realm of streaming application development, Apache StreamPark stands as a formidable framework, streamlining the creation and management of applications using Apache Flink and Spark. However, even the most robust systems are not impervious to vulnerabilities, as evidenced by two recent security concerns identified in this platform.

CVE-2023-49898: Apache StreamPark (incubating): Authenticated system users could trigger remote command execution

Firstly, we have CVE-2023-49898, a vulnerability that lurks within StreamPark’s project module, specifically in its integration with Maven’s compilation capability. Due to a lack of checks on Maven’s compilation parameters, an authenticated user with system-level permissions could potentially trigger remote command execution. While the likelihood of such an exploit is low, given that it requires system-level access and a deliberate action by the user, the implications could be significant for those with access.

CVE-2023-30867: Apache StreamPark (incubating): Authenticated system users could trigger SQL injection vulnerability

The second vulnerability, CVE-2023-30867, involves a more common threat: SQL injection. Within certain features of StreamPark, like name-based fuzzy searches for job and role names, there’s a chink in the armor. The SQL syntax used for these searches is vulnerable, potentially leading to information leakage if illegal parameters are inserted into the jobName field.

The Takeaway: Patch, Stream, and Secure

Both vulnerabilities share a common remedy – an upgrade to Apache StreamPark version 2.1.2. This version patches these weaknesses, fortifying the framework against these specific types of attacks.
