Apache Oozie is a workflow scheduler system to manage Apache Hadoop jobs. Severity: Severe
Vendor: The Apache Software Foundation Versions Affected: Oozie 3.1.3-incubating to Oozie 4.3.0 Oozie 5.0.0-beta1 Description: Vulnerability allows a user of Oozie to expose private files on the Oozie server process. The malicious user can construct a workflow XML file containing XML directives and configuration that reference sensitive files on the Oozie server host. Mitigation: Users should upgrade to Apache Oozie 4.3.1 release from http://oozie.apache.org/ . Users should use 5.0.0-beta1 release only for testing purposes and wait for the 5.0.0 GA which will have the fix.
