Technical details
This is an improper privilege management vulnerability (CWE-269) in the Hadoop integration component of MarkLogic Server. An authenticated attacker with a low-privileged Hadoop role can escalate privileges to perform administrative operations against the Security database. The vulnerability requires prior authentication but does not require network-based exploitation from an unauthenticated state. Successful exploitation allows an insider or compromised Hadoop user to bypass access controls and execute privileged database operations. The vulnerability is fixed in versions 11.3.6 and 12.0.3 or later.
