Background

Apache Submarine is an open-source project developed by the Apache Software Foundation. It provides a distributed machine learning platform for running TensorFlow jobs on Kubernetes. The project allows users to train and deploy machine learning models at scale. However, versions of Apache Submarine prior to 0.8.0 are vulnerable to an SQL injection attack when a user logs in. This vulnerability can lead to unauthorized access to the system.

Vulnerability Detail

The SQL injection vulnerability in Apache Submarine allows an attacker to manipulate the SQL queries used for user authentication during the login process. By injecting malicious SQL code, an attacker can bypass authentication and gain unauthorized access to the system. This can result in the compromise of sensitive data, unauthorized execution of commands, or further exploitation of the system. The vulnerability affects Apache Submarine versions 0.7.0 to 0.8.0.
