description

Apache Impala executor web servers in versions through 4.5.2 may improperly validate JWT bearer-token signatures. An attacker may access resources served by an executor web server when that server is configured to accept JWT/OAuth authentication.

mitigation

Upgrade Apache Impala to version 4.5.3. If upgrading cannot be done immediately, disable JWT/OAuth authentication on Impala executor web servers.
