What is CVE-2018-11777?

In versions 2.3.3, 3.1.0, and earlier of Apache Hive, local resources on HiveServer2 machines remain inadequately secured against potential attacks from malicious users. This oversight occurs particularly when security measures such as Ranger, Sentry, or SQL standard authorizer are not deployed, allowing unauthorized access to local resources. It is crucial for users to implement proper security configurations to protect sensitive data from exploitation.
