CVE-2024-23944
Description
A flaw was found in the Apache Zookeeper package. Affected versions of this package are vulnerable to Information Exposure due to a missing ACL check in the handling of persistent watchers. An attacker can monitor child znodes by attaching a persistent watcher (addWatch command) to a parent node that the attacker has access to. The server does not perform an ACL check when the persistent watcher is triggered, exposing the full path of znodes to the owner of the watcher.
Statement
Only the path is exposed by this vulnerability, not the data in the znode. Since the znode path may contain sensitive information such as usernames or login IDs, the impact on confidentiality is "High".
Common Vulnerability Scoring System (CVSS) Score Details
Info alert:Important note
CVSS scores for open source components depend on vendor-specific factors (e.g. version or build chain). Therefore, Red Hat's score and impact rating can be different from NVD and other vendors. Red Hat remains the authoritative CVE Naming Authority (CNA) source for its products and services (see Red Hat classifications).
