ClickHouse < 19.14.3

medium Nessus Plugin ID 216690

Synopsis

The remote host is affected by a vulnerability.

Description

The version of ClickHouse installed on the remote host is prior to 19.14.3. It is, therefore, affected by a arbitrary file write vulnerability. In all versions of ClickHouse before 19.14.3, an attacker having write access to ZooKeeper and who is able to run a custom server available from the network where ClickHouse runs, can create a custom-built malicious server that will act as a ClickHouse replica and register it in ZooKeeper. When another replica will fetch data part from the malicious replica, it can force clickhouse-server to write to arbitrary path on filesystem.

Note that Nessus has not tested for this issue but has instead relied only on the application's self-reported version number.

Solution

Upgrade to ClickHouse version 19.14.3 or later.
