In Cloudera Hue, there is privilege escalation by a read-only user when CDH 5.x brefore 5.4.9 is used.

Cloudera CDH has Insecure Permissions because ALL cannot be revoked.This affects 5.x through 5.15.1 and 6.x through 6.0.1.

Apache Hadoop 0.23.x before 0.23.11 and 2.x before 2.4.1, as used in Cloudera CDH 5.0.x before 5.0.2, do not check authorization for the (1) refreshNamenodes, (2) deleteBlockPool, and (3) shutdownDatanode HDFS admin commands, which allows remote authenticated users to cause a denial of service (DataNodes shutdown) or perform unnecessary operations by issuing a command.

Cloudera CDH before 5.6.1 allows authorization bypass via direct internal API calls.

Cloudera Search in CDH before 5.7.0 allows unauthorized document access because Solr Queries by document id can bypass Sentry document-level security via the RealTimeGetHandler.
