CVE-2026-23904 — Apache Kyuubi: Unrestricted access via Kyuubi engine-ui proxy

Kyuubi Engine UI proxy accepts a host and port from the request path and proxies HTTP requests to that destination. A remote requester with network access to the proxy can cause the Kyuubi server to send HTTP requests to arbitrary reachable hosts, resulting in SSRF or open-proxy behavior. This issue affects Apache Kyuubi: from 1.8.0 before 1.12.0. Users are recommended to upgrade to version 1.12.0, which disables the proxy by default. To restore proxied Engine UI, set kyuubi.frontend.rest.engine.ui.proxy.enabled=true and configure allowed target hosts with kyuubi.frontend.rest.engine.ui.proxy.hosts.

Low

Who exploits it and how urgent it is

A 0–100 score combining confirmed exploitation, ransomware and APT use, public exploits, EPSS and severity.

No exploitation signal in the sources consulted so far.

How the score was calculated

Technical severity (high)+6
Automatable exploitation (SSVC)+3

The score orders the patch queue; it does not replace your asset context (internet exposure, criticality, compensating controls).

Triage

Is it exploited, how likely is exploitation, what does it touch, and how severe do the sources call it.

Exploitation

Not confirmed

Not in CISA KEV — an absence of record, not proof it is unexploited.

EPSS FIRST

No EPSS score.

First 24 hours

Ordered from the record’s own fields — exposure first, because you cannot patch what you have not found. A rule-generated starting point.

Identify exposed assets running the affected vendor/product/version combinations (Apache Software Foundation Kyuubi).
The attack is network-based and needs no privileges: restrict exposure (ACLs, VPN, WAF) until patched.
Apply the fixed version or the patch documented under Remediation.
Search available logs for exploit probes, errors and authentication anomalies.
