Machine-written summary
Summary written by Claude Haiku from the source advisory. Not reviewed by a person.
Apache Linkis versions up to 1.5.0 are affected in the Spark EngineConn component (linkis-engineplugin-spark). The random string used as the token when starting Py4j is generated with Commons Lang's RandomStringUtils, which is not suitable for security purposes, so an attacker may be able to predict it. The source gives few details on the exact impact or required access. Upgrade to version 1.6.0, which fixes the issue.
