Security readout for executives and security teams
Apache Ranger versions 0.6.0 through 0.6.2 can make incorrect access-control decisions for some path-based policies. The issue appears when a policy has no wildcards but recursion is enabled. This could let intended data-access boundaries behave differently than administrators expect. Exposure is limited to Apache Ranger 0.6.0 through 0.6.2. The most relevant environments use Ranger for path-based authorization and have recursive policies without wildcards. Prioritize if Ranger controls access to sensitive data. The public record lacks severity scoring, but authorization mismatches can undermine data-access controls and compliance assumptions. Mitigation focus: Upgrade Apache Ranger from affected versions to 0.6.3 or later.; Review Apache Ranger vulnerability guidance for version-specific remediation notes.; Audit recursive path policies that do not use wildcards..
