Source description

As published by the source; long descriptions are shortened.

Signing cookies is an application security feature that adds a digital signature to cookie data to verify its authenticity and integrity. The signature helps prevent malicious actors from modifying the cookie value, which can lead to security vulnerabilities and exploitation. Apache Hive’s service component accidentally exposes the signed cookie to the end user when there is a mismatch in signature between the current and expected cookie. Exposing the correct cookie signature can lead to further exploitation. The vulnerable CookieSigner logic was introduced in Apache Hive by HIVE-9710 (1.2.0) and in Apache Spark by SPARK-14987 (2.0.0). The affected components are the following: org.apache.hive:hive-service org.apache.spark:spark-hive-thriftserver2.11 org.apache.spark:spark-hive-thriftserver2.12

# Patch Next advisory brief: CVE-2024-23945

Advisory: Apache Hive and Spark: CookieSigner exposes the correct signature when message verification fails
IDs: CVE-2024-23945, GHSA-77pm-w3hx-f8mj
Record: https://patchnext.com/advisories/cve-2024-23945 (revision 1, source checked 26 Oct 2026, 16:34 UTC)
Inventory: none attached. This brief comes from a public page and does not say whether any deployment is affected.
Severity: High (CVSS 8.7)
Exploitation: no confirmed exploitation recorded. Patch Next confirms exploitation only from CISA KEV.
Vendor response: Partial vendor fix; fixed versions by package: org.apache.spark:spark-hive-thriftserver_2.12 3.4.2; org.apache.hive:hive-service 4.0.0. A vendor fix does not mean a deployment is fixed.

## Affected components
- Maven org.apache.spark:spark-hive-thriftserver_2.12: affected < 3.4.2; fixed in 3.4.2
- Maven org.apache.spark:spark-hive-thriftserver_2.11: affected <= 2.4.8
- Maven org.apache.hive:hive-service: affected >= 1.2.0, < 4.0.0; fixed in 4.0.0

## Suggested inspection (read-only)
- Maven org.apache.spark:spark-hive-thriftserver_2.12: check the installed version with your package manager.
- Maven org.apache.spark:spark-hive-thriftserver_2.11: check the installed version with your package manager.
- Maven org.apache.hive:hive-service: check the installed version with your package manager.

## Supported action
No complete vendor fix is recorded. Follow the primary source's mitigation guidance and check this record again before closing anything.

## Required regression checks
- Run the test suite and a production build.
- Exercise the features that depend on org.apache.spark:spark-hive-thriftserver_2.12, org.apache.spark:spark-hive-thriftserver_2.11, org.apache.hive:hive-service.
- 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-77pm-w3hx-f8mj (GitHub-reviewed advisory GHSA-77pm-w3hx-f8mj lists affected ranges: Maven org.apache.hive:hive-service >=1.2.0 =0 =0 <3.4.2)

Commands are suggestions: review each one before running it.
