AI-suggested
Until an official fix is available, restrict execution permissions for the ai_generate_text() function to trusted users only and monitor usage closely. Review and limit access to credential providers and their keys. Follow updates from the Apache Software Foundation for patches or official mitigations.
Description
CVE-2026-57866 is a high-severity Server-Side Request Forgery (SSRF) vulnerability in Apache Impala versions 4.4.0 through 4.4.9 and 4.5.0 through 4.5.9. Authenticated users with permission to execute the ai_generate_text() function can exploit this flaw to exfiltrate secrets from credential providers configured in the hadoop.security.credential.provider.path property of core-site.xml, provided they know the secret's key.
Impact
Successful exploitation can lead to disclosure of sensitive secrets managed by the credential providers, potentially compromising system confidentiality and integrity. The vulnerability affects the availability and security of the Apache Impala service by allowing attackers to misuse internal resources to access protected credentials.
Summary
This vulnerability allows authenticated Apache Impala users who have execution rights for the ai_generate_text() function to perform SSRF attacks. By leveraging this, they can access and exfiltrate secrets managed by credential providers specified in the hadoop.security.credential.provider.path configuration. The attack requires knowledge of the secret's key. The affected versions include all releases from 4.4.0 to 4.4.9 and 4.5.0 to 4.5.9. The CVSS v3.1 base score is 8.8, indicating a high severity with network attack vector, low attack complexity, required privileges, no user interaction, and high impact on confidentiality, integrity, and availability.
