What is CVE-2018-6185?

In Cloudera's Navigator Key Trustee KMS versions 5.12 and 5.13, default ACL settings are misconfigured, permitting unauthorized remote access to sensitive API calls. Specifically, the purge and undelete commands for encryption zone keys are exposed due to a default ACL value set to '*'. This flaw allows any user with an understanding of the encryption key's name and network access to perform purge or undelete operations, leading to potential data loss or unauthorized recovery of deleted keys in a Hadoop Distributed File System (HDFS). Users are advised to review and modify ACL settings to safeguard against such vulnerabilities.
