Unknown Unknown - Not Provided

Assigner: Apache Software Foundation

Description
Improper permission check in ZooKeeper AdminServer lets authorized clients to run snapshot and restore command with insufficient permissions. This issue affects Apache ZooKeeper: from 3.9.0 before 3.9.4. Users are recommended to upgrade to version 3.9.4, which fixes the issue. The issue can be mitigated by disabling both commands (via admin.snapshot.enabled and admin.restore.enabled), disabling the whole AdminServer interface (via admin.enableServer), or ensuring that the root ACL does not provide open permissions. (Note that ZooKeeper ACLs are not recursive, so this does not impact operations on child nodes besides notifications from recursive watches.)

Executive Summary

This vulnerability is an improper permission check in the ZooKeeper AdminServer that allows authorized clients to run snapshot and restore commands without having sufficient permissions. It affects Apache ZooKeeper versions from 3.9.0 up to but not including 3.9.4.

Impact Analysis

The vulnerability can allow authorized clients to execute snapshot and restore commands without proper permissions, potentially leading to unauthorized data access or modification within the ZooKeeper service. This could compromise the integrity and availability of the data managed by ZooKeeper.

Mitigation Strategies

Immediate mitigation steps include upgrading Apache ZooKeeper to version 3.9.4 or later. Alternatively, you can disable the snapshot and restore commands by setting admin.snapshot.enabled and admin.restore.enabled to false, disable the entire AdminServer interface by setting admin.enableServer to false, or ensure that the root ACL does not provide open permissions to restrict unauthorized access.
