Direct network access to the Ambari Server is required to issue this request, and those Ambari Servers that are protected behind a firewall, or in a restricted network zone are at less risk of being affected by this issue.","published":"2018-05-03T23:29:00.000Z","lastModified":"2026-06-17T02:04:04.000Z","status":"Modified","sourceIdentifier":"security@apache.org","cvss":{"version":"3.0","score":5.3,"severity":"MEDIUM","vector":"CVSS:3.0/AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:L/I:N/A:N"},"cwe":["CWE-22"],"affected":["apache/ambari"],"epss":{"score":0.04165,"percentile":0.90834,"date":"2026-10-27","history":[]},"kev":{"listed":false},"exploits":{"count":0,"verified":false,"firstPublished":null,"source":"Exploit-DB (https://gitlab.com/exploit-database/exploitdb)","entries":[]},"verdict":{"level":"low","text":"Lower severity and a low EPSS score (4.17%).
