Threats affecting pkg:maven/org.apache.uniffle/uniffle

CVE-2025-68637 is a critical vulnerability in Apache Uniffle versions prior to 0.10.0 where the HTTP client disables hostname verification and trusts all SSL certificates by default. This misconfiguration allows attackers to perform Man-in-the-Middle (MITM) attacks on REST API communications between the Uniffle CLI/client and the Uniffle Coordinator service. The vulnerability has a CVSS score of 9.1, indicating high severity with potential for complete confidentiality and integrity compromise without requiring authentication or user interaction. Upgrading to version 0.10.0 mitigates this issue by enforcing proper certificate validation. European organizations using Apache Uniffle, especially in data-intensive or distributed computing environments, should prioritize patching to prevent interception or manipulation of sensitive data.
