Background

Apache Druid is an open-source distributed data store designed for high-performance analytics. It provides real-time analytics and data exploration capabilities. The vulnerability identified as CVE-2022-28889 affects Apache Druid versions 0.22.1 and earlier. These versions do not set appropriate headers to prevent clickjacking attacks. Clickjacking is a technique where an attacker tricks a user into clicking on a malicious element on a webpage, potentially leading to unauthorized actions or data leakage. This vulnerability exposes users of Apache Druid to the risk of clickjacking attacks.

Vulnerability Detail

The vulnerability in Apache Druid versions 0.22.1 and earlier arises from the absence of proper headers to mitigate clickjacking. Without the necessary security headers, an attacker can embed the Apache Druid application within a malicious website or frame, tricking users into interacting with the application unknowingly. This can lead to unintended actions, such as unauthorized data access or manipulation. The impact of a successful clickjacking attack depends on the specific actions allowed by the targeted Apache Druid instance. However, it can potentially result in data breaches, unauthorized access, or other security compromises.
