See how hazelcast compares to other vendors in security performance
In Hazelcast before 5.3.0, configuration routines don't mask passwords in the member configuration properly. This allows Hazelcast Management Center users to view some of the secrets.
Impact In Hazelcast Platform, 5.0 through 5.0.4, 5.1 through 5.1.6, and 5.2 through 5.2.3, and Hazelcast IMDG (all versions up to 4.2.z), Executor Services don't check client permissions properly, allowing authenticated users to execute tasks on members without the required permissions granted.
Patches Fix versions: 5.3.0, 5.2.4, 5.1.7, 5.0.5
Workarounds Users are only affected when they already use executor services (i.e., an instance exists as a distributed data structure).
Hazelcast Management Center through 6.0 allows remote code execution via a JndiLoginModule user.provider.url in a hazelcast-client XML document (aka a client configuration file), which can be uploaded at the /cluster-connections URI.
Impact In Hazelcast through 4.1.10, 4.2 through 4.2.8, 5.0 through 5.0.5, 5.1 through 5.1.7, 5.2 through 5.2.4, and 5.3 through 5.3.2, some client operations don't check permissions properly, allowing authenticated users to access data stored in the cluster.
Patches Fix versions: 5.2.5, 5.3.5, 5.4.0-BETA-1
Workarounds There is no known workaround.
A flaw was found in Hazelcast and Hazelcast Jet. This flaw may allow an attacker unauthenticated access to manipulate data in the cluster.
Impact In Hazelcast Platform through 5.3.4, a security issue exists within the SQL mapping for the CSV File Source connector. This issue arises from inadequate permission checking, which could enable unauthorized clients to access data from files stored on a member's filesystem.
Patches Fix versions: 5.3.5, 5.4.0-BETA-1
Workaround Disabling Hazelcast Jet processing engine in Hazelcast member configuration workarounds the issue. As a result SQL and Jet jobs won't work.
A flaw was found in the cluster join procedure in Hazelcast. This flaw allows an attacker to gain remote code execution via Java deserialization.
The LDAP authentication method in LdapLoginModule in Hazelcast IMDG Enterprise 4.x before 4.0.3, and Jet Enterprise 4.x through 4.2, doesn't verify properly the password in some system-user-dn scenarios. As a result, users (clients/members) can be authenticated even if they provide invalid passwords.
Improper Restriction of XML External Entity Reference in GitHub repository hazelcast/hazelcast in 5.1-BETA-1.
In Hazelcast before 3.11, the cluster join procedure is vulnerable to remote code execution via Java deserialization.
