Apache Ignite Update Notifier Component Sends User Sensitive Information to External PHP Server

CVE-2017-7686 · MEDIUM Severity

AV:N/AC:L/AU:N/C:P/I:N/A:N

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.
