CVE-2025-66249 Details
Description
Improper Limitation of a Pathname to a Restricted Directory ('Path Traversal') vulnerability in Apache Livy. This issue affects Apache Livy: from 0.3.0 before 0.9.0. The vulnerability can only be exploited with non-default Apache Livy Server settings. If the configuration value "livy.file.local-dir-whitelist" is set to a non-default value, the directory checking can be bypassed. Users are recommended to upgrade to version 0.9.0, which fixes the issue.
A path traversal vulnerability has been identified in Apache Livy versions 0.3.0-incubating prior to 0.9.0-incubating. This vulnerability arises from improper restrictions on pathname limitations, allowing unauthorized access to directories. It can be exploited only under non-default Apache Livy Server configurations, specifically when the 'livy.file.local-dir-whitelist' value is set to a non-default option, bypassing the intended directory checks.
Users are advised to upgrade to Apache Livy version 0.9.0, which addresses this vulnerability.
