Description

Similar to CVE-2020-1956, Kylin has one more restful API which concatenates the API inputs into OS commands and then executes them on the server; while the reported API misses necessary input validation, which causes the hackers to have the possibility to execute OS command remotely. Users of all previous versions after 2.3 should upgrade to 3.1.0.

Affected products

Apache Software Foundation Apache Kylin: from 2.3.0 before 3.1.0 — fixed in 3.1.0

How to fix

Upgrade to a fixed version: Apache Software Foundation Apache Kylin 3.1.0. Check the vendor advisory for mitigations.
