Q1What is this vulnerability? (Essence + Consequences)
π¨ **Essence**: Apache Polaris fails to escape `*` in table names when generating S3 IAM policies. <br>π₯ **Consequences**: `*` is treated as a wildcard, not literal text.β¦
π‘οΈ **CWE**: CWE-116 (Improper Labeling). <br>π **Flaw**: The system reuses unescaped `*` characters from namespace/table names directly into S3 IAM resource patterns and `s3:prefix` conditions without sanitization.
βοΈ **Threshold**: Medium. <br>π **Auth**: Requires **Low Privilege** (PR:L). <br>π― **Config**: Attacker needs minimal permissions (`TABLE_CREATE`, `TABLE_WRITE_DATA`) on a namespace. No UI interaction needed.
Q6Is there a public Exp? (PoC/Wild Exploitation)
π« **Public Exp?**: No public PoC code provided in the advisory. <br>π **Status**: Private testing confirmed. Vendor advisory published. Wild exploitation is theoretically easy given the logic flaw.
Q7How to self-check? (Features/Scanning)
π **Self-Check**: <br>1. Check if using Apache Polaris. <br>2. Look for table names containing literal `*` characters. <br>3.β¦
π₯ **Priority**: **HIGH**. <br>π **CVSS**: 9.3 (Critical). <br>β οΈ **Reason**: Remote code/data execution potential with low privileges. Direct impact on data integrity and confidentiality in S3 storage.
