Server side request forgery in Apache Impala versions 4.4.x and 4.5.x. (CVE-2026-57866)
Apache Impala versions 4.4.x and 4.5.x contain a server-side request forgery (SSRF) vulnerability. Authenticated users with permission to execute the ai_generate_text() function can exploit this flaw to exfiltrate secrets from credential providers configured via the hadoop.security.credential.provider.path property in core-site.xml. The attacker must know the secret's key to retrieve the secret. No patch information is currently available.
AI Analysis
Technical Summary
This vulnerability (CVE-2026-57866) in Apache Impala 4.4.x and 4.5.x allows authenticated users with execution rights on the ai_generate_text() function to perform server-side request forgery. By leveraging this SSRF, attackers can access secrets stored by credential providers configured in the hadoop.security.credential.provider.path property of core-site.xml, provided they know the secret's key. This could lead to unauthorized disclosure of sensitive credentials. There is no CVSS score or vendor advisory patch information available at this time.
Potential Impact
An attacker with valid authentication and permission to execute ai_generate_text() can exfiltrate sensitive secrets from configured credential providers, potentially compromising confidential information. This could lead to unauthorized access to other systems or data if the secrets are reused or provide elevated privileges.
Mitigation Recommendations
Patch status is not yet confirmed — check the vendor advisory for current remediation guidance. Until a fix is available, restrict permissions to execute the ai_generate_text() function to trusted users only and review credential provider configurations to minimize exposure.
