Cloudera Manager 5.8.x before 5.8.5, 5.9.x before 5.9.2, and 5.10.x before 5.10.1 allows a read-only Cloudera Manager user to discover the usernames of other users and elevate the privileges of those users.
An issue was discovered in Cloudera Data Science Workbench (CDSW) 1.x before 1.2.0. Several web application vulnerabilities allow malicious authenticated users of CDSW to escalate privileges in CDSW. CDSW users can exploit these vulnerabilities in combination to gain root access to CDSW nodes, gain access to the CDSW database which includes Kerberos keytabs of CDSW users and bcrypt hashed passwords, and gain access to other privileged information such as session tokens, invitation tokens, and environment variables.
In Cloudera CDH before 5.7.1, Impala REVOKE ALL ON SERVER commands do not revoke all privileges.
Cloudera CDH has Insecure Permissions because ALL cannot be revoked.This affects 5.x through 5.15.1 and 6.x through 6.0.1.
In Cloudera Hue, there is privilege escalation by a read-only user when CDH 5.x brefore 5.4.9 is used.
An issue was discovered in Cloudera Data Science Workbench (CDSW) 1.4.0 through 1.4.2. Authenticated users can bypass project permission checks and gain read-write access to any project folder.
An SQL injection vulnerability was found in Cloudera Data Science Workbench (CDSW) 1.4.0 through 1.4.2. This would allow any authenticated user to run arbitrary queries against CDSW's internal database. The database contains user contact information, encrypted CDSW passwords (in the case of local authentication), API keys, and stored Kerberos keytabs.
The Kerberos/MapReduce security functionality in Apache Hadoop 0.20.203.0 through 0.20.205.0, 0.23.x before 0.23.2, and 1.0.x before 1.0.2, as used in Cloudera CDH CDH3u0 through CDH3u2, Cloudera hadoop-0.20-sbin before 0.20.2+923.197, and other products, allows remote authenticated users to impersonate arbitrary cluster user accounts via unspecified vectors.
An issue was discovered in Cloudera Hue 6.0.0 through 6.1.0. When using one of following authentication backends: LdapBackend, PamBackend, SpnegoDjangoBackend, RemoteUserDjangoBackend, SAML2Backend, OpenIDBackend, or OAuthBackend, external users are created with superuser privileges.
