Remote Code Execution in Apache Zeppelin before 0.8.0

CVE-2018-1317

What is CVE-2018-1317?

In versions of Apache Zeppelin prior to 0.8.0, the cron scheduler was enabled by default, which posed a significant security risk. This configuration allowed authenticated users to execute code paragraphs as other users without the necessary authentication, potentially exposing sensitive data and enabling unauthorized actions within the system. Updating to version 0.8.0 or later mitigates this vulnerability, ensuring that the cron scheduler is secure and does not allow unauthorized code execution across user sessions.
