CVE-2022-24697Network attack vector

Remote code execution via quoted Spark overrides

Published Oct 13, 2022 · Updated May 16, 2025

Command injection in Apache Kylin 2.6.5 and earlier, 3.1.2 and earlier, and 4.0.1 and earlier allows remote attackers to execute OS commands. The cube designer passes configuration-override keys and values into Spark --conf arguments without rejecting shell metacharacters, so a crafted value can close the surrounding single quote and append a command. The malicious override must reach a cube or project configuration and be processed when the affected Spark job starts, executing with Kylin service account privileges.
