CVE-2017-7686: Apache Ignite communicates to an external PHP server where sensitive information is sent

October 16, 2018 (updated November 22, 2024)

Apache Ignite 1.0.0-RC3 to 2.0 uses an update notifier component to update the users about new project releases that include additional functionality, bug fixes and performance improvements. To do that the component communicates to an external PHP server (http://ignite.run) where it needs to send some system properties like Apache Ignite or Java version. Some of the properties might contain user sensitive information.
