CyberRota Analysis
AI-GeneratedThe Apache Helix REST API is vulnerable due to a permissive Cross-Origin Resource Sharing (CORS) configuration that allows remote attackers to exploit cross-origin requests, potentially exposing sensitive administrative endpoints. This vulnerability poses a significant risk, as it enables unauthorized access to data and operations by leveraging an authorized user's session. Organizations using Apache Helix should prioritize upgrading to version 2.0.1 to mitigate this high-severity risk.
Original NVD Description
Permissive Cross-Origin Resource Sharing (CORS) in the REST API (helix-rest, org.apache.helix.rest.server.filters.CORSFilter) in Apache Helix through 2.0.0 on all platforms allows a remote attacker controlling a web page visited by an authorized user to read responses from and issue cross-origin requests to administrative REST endpoints via a cross-origin request from an arbitrary origin, since the filter unconditionally returns Access-Control-Allow-Origin: * together with Access-Control-Allow-Credentials: true and reflects arbitrary Access-Control-Request-Method / Access-Control-Request-Headers values in preflight responses. Users are recommended to upgrade to version 2.0.1, which fixes this issue.
