A remote code injection vulnerability exists in the Ambari Metrics and
AMS Alerts feature, allowing authenticated users to inject and execute
arbitrary code. The vulnerability occurs when processing alert
definitions, where malicious input can be injected into the alert script
execution path. An attacker with authenticated access can exploit this
vulnerability to execute arbitrary commands on the server. The issue has
been fixed in the latest versions of Ambari.

An XML External Entity (XXE) vulnerability exists in the Ambari/Oozie
project, allowing an attacker to inject malicious XML entities. This
vulnerability occurs due to insecure parsing of XML input using the
`DocumentBuilderFactory` class without disabling external entity
resolution. An attacker can exploit this vulnerability to read arbitrary
files on the server or perform server-side request forgery (SSRF)
attacks. The issue has been fixed in both Ambari 2.7.9 and the trunk
branch.

A code injection vulnerability exists in the Ambari Alert Definition
feature, allowing authenticated users to inject and execute arbitrary
shell commands. The vulnerability arises when defining alert scripts,
where the script filename field is executed using `sh -c`. An attacker
with authenticated access can exploit this vulnerability to inject
malicious commands, leading to remote code execution on the server. The
issue has been fixed in the latest versions of Ambari.
