> More from static code analysis: it warns about the invoking of a separate
> command ("hbase hfile -s -f ...") as a possible security issue in
> hbase-server/src/main/resources/hbase-webapps/regionserver/storeFile.jsp.
> It looks to me like one cannot inject arbitrary shell script or even
> arbitrary arguments: ProcessBuilder makes that fairly safe and only allows
> the user to specify the argument that comes after -f. However that does
> potentially allow them to have the daemon's user access files they shouldn't
> be able to touch, albeit only for reading.
> To more explicitly eliminate any threats here, we should add some validation
> that the file is at least within HBase's root directory and use the Java API
> directly instead of invoking a separate executable.
