## What is CVE-2025-2298?

CVE-2025-2298 is a high-severity missing authorization vulnerability in Dremio Software, published on 21 Apr 2025. Any signed-in user can exploit it over the network, with no action from the victim.

### Official description

An improper authorization vulnerability in Dremio Software allows authenticated users to delete arbitrary files that the system has access to, including system files and files stored in remote locations such as S3, Azure Blob Storage, and local filesystems. This vulnerability exists due to insufficient access controls on an API endpoint, enabling any authenticated user to specify and delete files outside their intended scope.

What it is: CVE-2025-2298 is a high-severity missing authorization vulnerability in Dremio Software, published on 21 Apr 2025. Any signed-in user can exploit it over the network, with no action from the victim.
Exploitation: There is no known exploitation of CVE-2025-2298 in the wild and no public exploit code.

Affected product: Dremio Software. No package-level version data is available, so check the vendor advisory linked from the reference page.

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.
