What is CVE-2018-8024?

In specific versions of Apache Spark, a cross-site scripting vulnerability exists that enables an attacker to create a malicious URL leading to a Spark cluster’s user interface. If a user inadvertently follows this link, it can result in the execution of malicious scripts that could compromise their view of the Spark UI. Although modern browsers such as Chrome and Safari have implemented measures to block such attacks, older versions of Firefox and potentially other browsers may still be susceptible, putting users at risk of information exposure.
