An attacker can exploit it over the internet without logging in, with no action from the victim.\nExploitation: There is no known exploitation of CVE-2017-5642 in the wild and no public exploit code.\n\nAffected product: Apache Ambari. No package-level version data is available, so check the vendor advisory linked from the reference page.\n\nTask:\n1. Search the dependency manifests and lockfiles (for example package.json, package-lock.json, requirements.txt, poetry.lock, uv.lock, pom.xml, build.gradle, go.mod, Cargo.lock, Gemfile.lock) and any Dockerfiles for the affected packages, including transitive dependencies.\n2. If an affected version is in use, upgrade it to the fixed version for its release line with the project's package manager, so the lockfile is regenerated. Prefer the smallest upgrade that fixes it.\n3. If there is no fix, or the upgrade would break the build, do not guess: explain the risk and the safest workaround instead.\n4. Run the tests and summarise what changed and why.\n5. If nothing in the project is affected, say so and change nothing.\n\nReference: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2017-5642/ (Markdown: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2017-5642/index.md)","id":"CVE-2017-5642","markdown":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2017-5642/index.md","name":"CVE-2017-5642","record":{"aliases":["GHSA-fr57-qxcv-66p5"],"analysis":{"component_type":"server_software","fix_type":"patch","impacts":["privilege_escalation","data_read"],"network_reachable":"yes","non_default_config":false,"product_category":"Apache Ambari","requires_auth":"none","summary":"Improper file permissions during Ambari Server installation allow local attackers to read or modify sensitive artifacts, potentially leading to privilege escalation.","user_interaction":"not_required","vuln_class":"misconfiguration"},"analysis_generated_by":"qwen3.8-flash-next","assigner":"apache","cpe":[{"product":"ambari","vendor":"apache"}],"cvss":{"score":9.8,"severity":"critical","source":"nvd","vector":"CVSS:3.0/AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:H/A:H","version":"3.0"},"cwes":[{"id":"CWE-276","name":"Incorrect Default Permissions"}],"description":"During installation of Ambari 2.4.0 through 2.4.2, Ambari Server artifacts are not created with proper ACLs.","ecosystems":[],"exploits":{"exploitdb":0,"first_seen":null,"github_poc":0,"max_poc_stars":null,"metasploit":0,"nuclei":0,"refs":[],"tier":"none_known"},"has_fix":false,"headline":"Misconfiguration in Apache Ambari","id":"CVE-2017-5642","indexable":true,"kev":null,"kind":"cve","links":{"ecosystem":null,"product":null,"products":[],"type":"misconfiguration","year":"2017"},"n_packages":0,"n_references":1,"next":{"headline":"Apache Camel's Validation Component is vulnerable against SSRF via remote DTDs and XXE.","id":"CVE-2017-5643"},"packages":[],"prev":{"headline":"Apache Flex BlazeDS unsafe deserialization","id":"CVE-2017-5641"},"products":["Apache Ambari"],"published":"2017-04-03","related":[{"cvss_score":9.8,"headline":"Command injection in n/a","id":"CVE-2014-3582","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2017-03-29"},{"cvss_score":9.8,"headline":"Apache Ambari Improper Access Control","id":"CVE-2016-6807","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2017-03-28"},{"cvss_score":8.8,"headline":"Apache Ambari: Remote Code Injection in Ambari Metrics and AMS Alerts","id":"CVE-2024-51941","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2025-01-21"},{"cvss_score":8.8,"headline":"Apache Ambari: Code Injection Vulnerability in Ambari Alert Definition","id":"CVE-2025-23196","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2025-01-21"},{"cvss_score":8.8,"headline":"Apache Ambari: authenticated users could perform command injection to perform RCE","id":"CVE-2023-50379","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2024-02-27"},{"cvss_score":8.1,"headline":"Information disclosure in Apache Ambari","id":"CVE-2018-8042","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2018-07-18"}],"sources":[{"class":"attribution","licence":"CVE Terms of Use (MITRE)","name":"CVE List","prefix":"CVE"},{"class":"attribution","licence":"US public information, NVD API terms","name":"NVD"},{"class":"attribution","licence":"CWE Terms of Use","name":"CWE (MITRE)"},{"class":"attribution","licence":"FIRST CVSS licence","name":"CVSS (FIRST)"}],"ssvc":{"automatable":null,"exploitation":null,"technical_impact":null},"state":"PUBLISHED","updated":"2024-08-05","vendors":["Apache Software Foundation"]},"summary":"Improper file permissions during Ambari Server installation allow local attackers to read or modify sensitive artifacts, potentially leading to privilege escalation.","url":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2017-5642/"}
