Description
RisingWave before 3.1.0 contains a missing authorization vulnerability that allows low-privileged SQL users to read and write arbitrary server files by creating posix_fs sources and fs sinks. Attackers holding schema CREATE privilege can set posix_fs.root or fs.path to any directory to read credentials and keys or write files as root.
