Apache Zeppelin: Improper Control of a Resource Through its Lifetime

Published Updated By the CyberSecBulletin desk

CVE-2024-41169 is a high-severity improper control of a resource through its lifetime vulnerability in Apache Zeppelin from Apache, with a CVSS 3.1 base score of 7.5 out of 10. It can be exploited remotely over the network by an unauthenticated attacker, without any action from a user. The record lists version 0.12.0 as the first without the flaw, so updating Apache Zeppelin to that release or later removes the exposure. There is no confirmed exploitation so far. EPSS estimates a 0.69% chance of exploitation within 30 days, higher than 53% of scored CVEs.
