Race condition in org.apache.hbase:hbase-thrift

CVE-2018-8025GHSA-r86j-2gc6-2cq9

What to do

Vendor fix available. Upgrade each affected package to the fixed version on its release line (org.apache.hbase:hbase-thrift 2.0.1, 1.4.5, 1.3.2.1, 1.2.6.1), redeploy, then verify what is actually installed.

This page has no inventory attached, so it cannot say whether you are affected. A vendor fix is not proof that your deployment is fixed.

Source description

As published by the source; long descriptions are shortened.

An issue in Apache HBase affects the optional "Thrift 1" API server when running over HTTP. There is a race-condition which could lead to authenticated sessions being incorrectly applied to users, e.g. one authenticated user would be considered a different user or an unauthenticated user would be treated as an authenticated user. https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HBASE-20664 implements a fix for this issue. It has been fixed in versions: 1.2.6.1, 1.3.2.1, 1.4.5, 2.0.1.

# Patch Next advisory brief: CVE-2018-8025

Advisory: Race condition in org.apache.hbase:hbase-thrift
IDs: CVE-2018-8025, GHSA-r86j-2gc6-2cq9
Record: https://patchnext.com/advisories/cve-2018-8025 (revision 1, source checked 26 Oct 2026, 16:26 UTC)
Inventory: none attached. This brief comes from a public page and does not say whether any deployment is affected.
Severity: High (CVSS 8.1)
Exploitation: no confirmed exploitation recorded. Patch Next confirms exploitation only from CISA KEV.
Vendor response: Vendor fix available; fixed versions by package: org.apache.hbase:hbase-thrift 2.0.1, 1.4.5, 1.3.2.1, 1.2.6.1. A vendor fix does not mean a deployment is fixed.

## Affected components
- Maven org.apache.hbase:hbase-thrift: affected >= 2.0.0, <= 2.0.0; >= 1.4.0, < 1.4.5; >= 1.3.0, <= 1.3.2.0; <= 1.2.6.0; fixed in 1.4.5, 2.0.1, 1.2.6.1, 1.3.2.1

## Suggested inspection (read-only)
- Maven org.apache.hbase:hbase-thrift: check the installed version with your package manager.

## Supported action
Upgrade each affected component to a fixed version on its release line. For a transitive dependency, upgrade the parent package or add an override or constraint, then regenerate the lockfile. Redeploy every environment that ran an affected version.

## Required regression checks
- Run the test suite and a production build.
- Exercise the features that depend on org.apache.hbase:hbase-thrift.
- Repeat the inspection and confirm that only fixed versions remain installed.

## Rollback considerations
- Keep the previous lockfile and deployment artifact. Rolling back reinstates the vulnerable version, so apply any documented mitigation while you fix forward.

## Unresolved questions
- Which deployments run an affected version?
- Exploitation status can change. Check again before lowering the priority.
- Mark the work resolved only after the fixed version is verified in production.

## Sources
- Verified: https://github.com/advisories/GHSA-r86j-2gc6-2cq9 (GitHub-reviewed advisory GHSA-r86j-2gc6-2cq9 lists affected ranges: Maven org.apache.hbase:hbase-thrift >=2.0.0 =1.4.0 =1.3.0 =0 <=1.2.6.0)

Commands are suggestions: review each one before running it.
