AI Analysis
Technical Summary
CVE-2026-62392 is an OS Command Injection vulnerability (CWE-78) in Apache Kylin affecting versions from 4.0.0 up to but not including 5.0.4. The vulnerability arises because a backend API passes job configuration parameters directly to the OS command line without proper sanitization, enabling an attacker with low privileges to execute arbitrary commands on the host system. The vulnerability has a CVSS v3.1 base score of 8.8, indicating high severity with network attack vector, low attack complexity, required privileges, no user interaction, and impacts confidentiality, integrity, and availability. Users are advised to upgrade to Apache Kylin 5.0.4, which addresses this issue.
Potential Impact
Successful exploitation can lead to arbitrary OS command execution with the privileges of the affected service, potentially compromising system confidentiality, integrity, and availability. The vulnerability requires low attack complexity and privileges but no user interaction, making it a significant risk in affected environments.
Mitigation Recommendations
Upgrade Apache Kylin to version 5.0.4 or later, where this vulnerability is fixed. No other official remediation or temporary fixes are documented. Patch status is confirmed by the vendor's versioning recommendation.
