### Summary There is an arbitrary file read vulnerability in the CrateDB database, and authenticated CrateDB database users can read any file on the system. ### Details There is a COPY FROM function in the CrateDB database that is used to import file data into database tables. This function has a flaw, and authenticated attackers can use the COPY FROM function to import arbitrary file content into database tables, resulting in information leakage. ### PoC ``` CREATE TABLE info_leak(info_leak STRING); COPY info_leak FROM '/etc/passwd' with (format='csv', header=false); or COPY info_leak FROM '/crate/config/crate.yml' with (format='csv', header=false); SELECT * FROM info_leak; ```  ### Impact This vulnerability affects all current versions of the CrateDB database. Attackers who exploit this vulnerability to obtain sensitive information may carry out further attacks, while a...

### Impact Nodes and servers get a ssh config by default that permits root login with password authentication. In a proper deployment, the SSH service is not exposed so there is no risk, but not all deployments are ideal. The default should therefore be less permissive. We will probably opt to completely remove the ssh option as it is only used for debugging. Later, we can add a debug mode where we can activate it if necessary. ### Workarounds Remove the ssh part from the docker file and build your own docker image

### Impact Authenticated users could inject code into algorithm environment variables ### Workarounds No
