CVE-2020-17519Apache Flink — any file readable through the job manager

A change in Apache Flink 1.11.0 let anyone read files from the job manager's filesystem through its web interface, bounded only by what that process itself can open. The fix is in 1.11.3 and 1.12.0.

YOUR NEXT MOVE

Upgrade Flink to 1.11.3 or 1.12.0. Until that lands, keep the job manager interface off any network that does not need it — the exploit is a single request.
