CVE-2026-97395 Details
Description
Apache Polaris allows an authenticated principal with permission to create or update Iceberg table properties to set FileIO client settings such as s3.endpoint in table metadata. In versions < 1.8.0, when Polaris performs server-side Iceberg operations, including commits and purges, it may use those settings to construct its (server-side) FileIO client. If the catalog storage configuration does not override the endpoint, Polaris can send storage requests to a host chosen by the table writer, using credentials scoped to the operation. This can redirect server-side storage traffic and expose request authentication material to the chosen endpoint. Deployments are affected when table writers are not trusted to configure server-side storage endpoints.
A vulnerability in Apache Polaris versions prior to 1.8.0 allows authenticated users with permission to modify Iceberg table properties to manipulate FileIO client settings, such as the S3 endpoint, within the table metadata. During server-side Iceberg operations like commits and purges, Polaris may utilize these custom settings to build its FileIO client. If the catalog storage configuration does not override the specified endpoint, this could result in Polaris directing storage requests to a user-defined host, using operation-specific credentials. Such behavior could inadvertently expose authentication materials to the selected endpoint, particularly in environments where table writers are not trusted to manage server-side storage endpoints.
