Cross-Site Request Forgery (CSRF) vulnerability in Apache Zeppelin. (CVE-2026-44613)
Apache Zeppelin versions 0.6.0 through 0.12.0 have a Cross-Site Request Forgery (CSRF) vulnerability due to a permissive default CORS configuration that allows cross-origin state-changing requests and accepts text/plain request bodies. This enables an attacker to trick an authenticated user into performing unintended actions via REST and WebSocket endpoints. The issue is fixed in version 0.12.1.
AI Analysis
Technical Summary
The vulnerability in Apache Zeppelin arises from its default CORS settings, which permit cross-origin requests that can change state and accept text/plain request bodies. This configuration flaw allows attackers to exploit CSRF by luring authenticated users to malicious sites, causing them to unknowingly execute actions on the Zeppelin server through REST and WebSocket interfaces. The vulnerability affects versions from 0.6.0 up to but not including 0.12.1. Upgrading to version 0.12.1 mitigates this issue.
Potential Impact
An attacker can perform unauthorized state-changing actions on behalf of an authenticated user by exploiting the CSRF vulnerability. This can lead to limited confidentiality and integrity impacts, as indicated by the CVSS vector (C:L/I:L), but does not affect availability. The vulnerability requires user interaction (UI:R) and can be exploited remotely without privileges (AV:N/PR:N).
Mitigation Recommendations
Users should upgrade Apache Zeppelin to version 0.12.1, which contains the official fix for this CSRF vulnerability. No other mitigations are indicated or required beyond applying this update.
