CVE-2016-3083

25
FAUCET Score

CVE-2016-3083 describes a critical vulnerability in Apache Hive (JDBC + HiveServer2) versions prior to 1.2.2 and 2.0.1, where the client fails to properly validate the common name in SSL certificates during connection setup. This oversight allows an attacker to present a valid certificate for a different domain, leading to a successful SSL handshake despite a mismatch. Rated with a CVSS score of 7.5 (HIGH), this vulnerability has a network attack vector, low attack complexity, and a high potential impact on integrity, as it could enable man-in-the-middle attacks. There is currently no evidence of active exploitation, public exploit code (Metasploit, Nuclei, ExploitDB), or significant community discussion surrounding this CVE.
