CVE-2021-25646: Authenticated users can override system configurations in their requests which allows them to execute arbitrary code.

[Jihoon Son <jihoonson () apache org>]

Description:

Apache Druid includes the ability to execute user-provided JavaScript
code embedded in various types of requests. This functionality is
intended for use in high-trust environments, and is disabled by
default. However, in Druid 0.20.0 and earlier, it is possible for an
authenticated user to send a specially-crafted request that forces
Druid to run user-provided JavaScript code for that request,
regardless of server configuration. This can be leveraged to execute
code on the target machine with the privileges of the Druid server
process.

Mitigation:

Users should upgrade to Druid 0.20.1. Whenever possible, network
access to cluster machines should be restricted to trusted hosts only.
