CVE-2018-11804 is a high-severity information disclosure vulnerability affecting developers building Apache Spark from source code, specifically versions 1.3.x through master. The "build/mvn" convenience script, used for compilation, downloads and runs a zinc server that, by default, accepts external connections. A specially crafted request to this server could allow an attacker to reveal sensitive information from files accessible to the developer's account. The CVSS score is 7.5 (High) due to its network attack vector and high confidentiality impact, though it does not affect end-users of Spark. There is no evidence of active exploitation, public exploit code (Metasploit, Nuclei, ExploitDB), or significant community discussion or media coverage.
