In Apache Spark 2.1.0 to 2.1.2, 2.2.0 to 2.2.1, and 2.3.0, it's possible for a malicious user to construct a URL pointing to a Spark cluster's UI's job and stage info pages, and if a user can be tricked into accessing the URL, can be used to cause script to execute and expose information from the user's view of the Spark UI. While some browsers like recent versions of Chrome and Safari are able to block this type of attack, current versions of Firefox (and possibly others) do not.

There are packages installed that are affected by a vulnerability referenced in the following CVE:

  - In Apache Spark 2.1.0 to 2.1.2, 2.2.0 to 2.2.1, and 2.3.0, it's possible for a malicious user to construct
    a URL pointing to a Spark cluster's UI's job and stage info pages, and if a user can be tricked into
    accessing the URL, can be used to cause script to execute and expose information from the user's view of
    the Spark UI. While some browsers like recent versions of Chrome and Safari are able to block this type of
    attack, current versions of Firefox (and possibly others) do not. (CVE-2018-8024)

The remote web server is running a version of Apache Spark that is affected by a Cross-Site Scripting (XSS) vulnerability due to a flaw in Spark cluster's UI's job and stage info pages, which allows a remote attacker to use specially crafted requests that can lead to arbitrary HTML and script code injection into a user's browser to be executed within the security context of the affected site.
