CVE-2021-42010: CRLF log injection

Heron versions <= 0.20.4-incubating allows CRLF log injection because of the lack of escaping in the log statements. Please update to version 0.20.5-incubating which addresses this issue.

Security readout for executives and security teams

Apache Heron versions up to 0.20.4-incubating can write attacker-controlled line breaks into logs because log output is not properly escaped. This can undermine audit trails and incident response by making logs misleading or forged. The source bundle states the issue is addressed in 0.20.5-incubating. Exposure is limited to environments running Apache Heron (Incubating) versions <= 0.20.4-incubating. Organizations not using Apache Heron are not indicated as affected by the provided sources. Prioritize remediation if Apache Heron is used in production, especially in security-sensitive data or operations pipelines. The main business risk is reduced trust in logs, which can impair detection, investigations, and compliance evidence. Mitigation focus: Upgrade Apache Heron to 0.20.5-incubating or later.; Check Apache advisory channels for any additional vendor guidance.; Prioritize systems where Heron receives untrusted external input..

Improper Encoding or Escaping of Output

Improper Encoding or Escaping of Output represents a recurring weakness pattern that can create exploitable paths when design, validation, or implementation controls are missing.
