Severity: low

Affected versions:

- Apache Kylin 2.0.0 through 4.0.3

Description:

In Apache Kylin version 2.0.0 to 4.0.3, there is a Server Config web interface 
that displays the content of file 'kylin.properties', that may contain 
serverside credentials. When the kylin service runs over HTTP (or other plain 
text protocol), it is possible for network sniffers to hijack the HTTP payload 
and get access to the content of kylin.properties and potentially the 
containing credentials.

To avoid this threat, users are recommended to 

  *  Always turn on HTTPS so that network payload is encrypted.

  *  Avoid putting credentials in kylin.properties, or at least not in plain 
text.
  *  Use network firewalls to protect the serverside such that it is not 
accessible to external attackers.

  *  Upgrade to version Apache Kylin 4.0.4, which filters out the sensitive 
content that goes to the Server Config web interface.
