QID 731375

QID 731375: Apache Zeppelin Command Injection Vulnerability

The Shell interpreter in Apache Zeppelin offers a way to run system commands right within the notebook interface. This functionality aids in task management and data handling. However, it also opens up a potential security vulnerability. Malicious actors may take advantage of this access to insert unauthorized code. Once injected, this code operates with the same privileges as the Zeppelin process, posing a significant risk.

Affected Versions:
Apache Zeppelin 0.10.1 and 0.11.0

QID Detection Logic:
This QID check for vulnerable version of Apache Zeppelin by sending a GET request to the '/api/version' endpoint and extracting the version from the response received.

Successful exploitation of the vulnerability may allow a user to inject malicious code in notebook, leading to code execution and possible system compromise.

  • CVSS V3 rated as Critical - 9.1 severity.
  • CVSS V2 rated as Medium - 5.5 severity.
  • Solution
    Users are recommended to upgrade to version 0.11.1, which doesn't have Shell interpreter by default. For more information, please refer to the Zeppelin Release Notes
