Security

Security Model​

Apache Hudi is a library that relies on the security posture of the underlying compute engine and storage environment in which it operates. In real-world deployments, engines like Presto, Apache Spark, Apache Flink are hosted in private virtual network—such as a VPC, VLAN, or on-premises subnet—where only trusted entities have access and network controls including firewalls, ACLs, and routing rules are used to restrict and prevent untrusted access.

Security Reporting and Vulnerability Handling​

The Apache Software Foundation takes security seriously, and Apache Hudi encourages responsible disclosure of any potential vulnerabilities. If you have apprehensions regarding Hudi's security, or you discover vulnerability or potential threat, don’t hesitate to get in touch with the Apache Security Team by dropping a mail at security@apache.org. In the mail, specify the description of the issue or potential threat. You are also urged to recommend the way to reproduce and replicate the issue. The Hudi community will get back to you after assessing and analysing the findings.

PLEASE PAY ATTENTION to report the security issue on the security email before disclosing it on public domain.

An overview of the vulnerability handling process is:

  • The reporter reports the vulnerability privately to Apache.
  • The appropriate project's security team works privately with the reporter to resolve the vulnerability.
  • A new release of the Apache product concerned is made that includes the fix.
  • The vulnerability is publically announced.
