CVE-2025-59390 is a critical vulnerability in Apache Druid versions through 34.0.0, where the Kerberos authenticator uses a cryptographically weak fallback secret for cookie signing if not explicitly configured, potentially allowing authentication bypass or token forgery. With a CVSS score of 9.8 (CRITICAL), this flaw is easily exploitable over the network with low complexity, leading to complete compromise of confidentiality, integrity, and availability. While there is no evidence of active exploitation or public exploit code, the vulnerability has garnered significant community discussion, and users are advised to upgrade to version 35.0.0, which mandates a strong secret configuration.
