Description
Potential problem for users of the org.apache.parquet.crypto.keytools package in Apache Parquet, versions 1.12 to 1.18.
This package enables users to encrypt Parquet files via an envelope encryption mechanism that wraps (encrypts) data keys via a Key Management Service (KMS).
On the reader side, the KMS URL can be application-controlled or file-controlled.
If the user does not leverage application control for this parameter, a file-controlled KMS URL is forwarded to a pluggable KmsClient implementation.
If the pluggable implementation does not perform host validation, a KMS token can be sent to a malicious host set by an attacker in the file.
Before the problem is fixed, users are recommended to leverage application control for KMS URL parameter in readers (versions 1.12-1.18).
After the problem is fixed (presumably in version 1.19), the upgrade will disable file-controlled KMS URL by default. Users of the KMS URL parameter
will have two options then: leverage application control for KMS URL parameter in readers, or enable file-controlled KMS URL (via a new app parameter).
The latter option will explicitly require (in the new parameter documentation) to validate the KMS URL and use authentication in the custom implementation of the KMS client plug in.
