Apache Hadoop YARN ResourceManager Unauthenticated RCE (Remote) (Xbash)

critical Nessus Plugin ID 117615

Language:

Synopsis

The remote web server contains a web application that allows an API to run system commands without authentication.

Description

The Apache Hadoop YARN ResourceManager running on the remote host is allowing unauthenticated users to create and execute applications. An unauthenticated, remote attacker can exploit this, via a specially crafted HTTP request, to potentially execute arbitrary code, subject to the user privileges of the executing node.

Solution

Configure ResourceManager API access control.
