      "value": "An improper authentication vulnerability in HiveServer2 SAML bearer-token validation in Apache Hive 4.0.0 through 4.2.0 (and later unreleased branches) on deployments using HTTP transport with hive.server2.authentication=SAML allows an unauthenticated network attacker to authenticate as an arbitrary Hive user and obtain an authenticated HiveServer2 session via a forged Authorization: Bearer token sent to the /cliservice HTTP endpoint. Users are recommended to upgrade to 4.2.1 version that includes the fix for this issue.\n\nAccess / authorization required: No Hive credentials, SAML IdP login, or knowledge of the server signing secret is required. The attacker only needs network reachability to the HiveServer2 HTTP port (typically /cliservice), directly or through a reverse proxy such as Apache Knox that forwards unauthenticated requests to HS2. The instance must have SAML authentication enabled in HTTP mode. Deployments where Knox handles SSO and HiveServer2 uses LDAP/Kerberos (not native SAML mode) are not affected by this specific issue."

Se recomienda a los usuarios actualizar a la versión 4.2.1 que incluye la corrección para este problema.\n\nAcceso / autorización requerida: No se requieren credenciales de Hive, inicio de sesión de SAML IdP, ni conocimiento del secreto de firma del servidor. El atacante solo necesita accesibilidad de red al puerto HTTP de HiveServer2 (típicamente /cliservice), directamente o a través de un proxy inverso como Apache Knox que reenvía solicitudes no autenticadas a HS2. La instancia debe tener la autenticación SAML habilitada en modo HTTP. Los despliegues donde Knox maneja el SSO y HiveServer2 usa LDAP/Kerberos (no en modo SAML nativo) no se ven afectados por este problema específico."
