CVE-2024-45106 is a high-severity missing authorization vulnerability in Apache Ozone, published on 3 Dec 2024. Any signed-in user can exploit it over the network, with no action from the victim.

### Official description

Improper authentication of an HTTP endpoint in the S3 Gateway of Apache Ozone 1.4.0 allows any authenticated Kerberos user to revoke and regenerate the S3 secrets of any other user. This is only possible if:

  *  The user configured in ozone.s3g.kerberos.principal is also configured in ozone.s3.administrators or ozone.administrators.

Users are recommended to upgrade to Apache Ozone version 1.4.1 which disables the affected endpoint.

Check this codebase for CVE-2024-45106 and fix it if it is affected.

What it is: CVE-2024-45106 is a high-severity missing authorization vulnerability in Apache Ozone, published on 3 Dec 2024. Any signed-in user can exploit it over the network, with no action from the victim.
Exploitation: There is no known exploitation of CVE-2024-45106 in the wild and no public exploit code.

Affected packages and fixed versions:

Task:
1. 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.
2. 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.
3. If there is no fix, or the upgrade would break the build, do not guess: explain the risk and the safest workaround instead.
4. Run the tests and summarise what changed and why.
5. If nothing in the project is affected, say so and change nothing.
