CVE-2021-27568: Infoleak

First published: Tue Feb 23 2021(Updated: )

A flaw was found in json-smart. When an exception is thrown from a function, but is not caught, the program using the library may crash or expose sensitive information. The highest threat from this vulnerability is to data confidentiality and system availability. In OpenShift Container Platform (OCP), the Hive/Presto/Hadoop components that comprise the OCP Metering stack, ship the vulnerable version of json-smart package. Since the release of OCP 4.6, the Metering product has been deprecated [1], hence the affected components are marked as wontfix. This may be fixed in the future.
