CVE-2025-30001 is a vulnerability classified under CWE-279 (Incorrect Execution-Assigned Permissions) affecting Apache StreamPark versions from 2.1.4 up to but not including 2.1.6. Apache StreamPark is an open-source distributed data streaming and processing platform widely used for real-time analytics and data integration. The vulnerability arises due to improper assignment of execution permissions within the software, allowing remote attackers to perform unauthorized actions without requiring authentication or user interaction. The CVSS 3.1 score of 7.3 reflects a high severity level, with an attack vector of network (AV:N), low attack complexity (AC:L), no privileges required (PR:N), and no user interaction (UI:N). The impact affects confidentiality, integrity, and availability to a limited extent, meaning attackers could potentially access or modify data and disrupt services. No public exploits are known at this time, but the vulnerability's nature makes it a significant risk if left unpatched. The Apache Software Foundation has released version 2.1.6 to remediate this issue, and users are urged to upgrade promptly. The vulnerability highlights the importance of correct permission assignment in distributed processing systems to prevent unauthorized command execution and data compromise.

For European organizations, the vulnerability poses a risk to the confidentiality, integrity, and availability of data processed through Apache StreamPark. Organizations relying on real-time data streaming for critical operations—such as financial services, telecommunications, manufacturing, and energy sectors—may face unauthorized data access or manipulation, potentially disrupting business processes or causing data leakage. The lack of required authentication and user interaction increases the risk of automated exploitation attempts from remote attackers. Although no known exploits exist yet, the high severity score and network accessibility make it a credible threat. Disruption or compromise of streaming data pipelines could impact decision-making, operational continuity, and regulatory compliance, especially under GDPR and other data protection frameworks. European entities should consider the vulnerability a priority for patching to avoid potential service interruptions and data breaches.

The primary mitigation is to upgrade Apache StreamPark installations to version 2.1.6 or later, where the incorrect permission assignment flaw has been fixed. Organizations should verify that all instances of Apache StreamPark are updated promptly, including development, testing, and production environments. Additionally, conduct a thorough audit of permission settings and execution policies within the platform to ensure adherence to the principle of least privilege. Network-level controls such as firewall rules and segmentation should restrict access to Apache StreamPark management interfaces and streaming endpoints to trusted sources only. Implement monitoring and alerting for unusual execution or permission-related activities within the platform. Regularly review and update security policies related to data streaming infrastructure. Finally, maintain awareness of vendor advisories and security bulletins for any emerging exploits or patches.
