Miggo AIRoot Cause Analysis

The vulnerability stems from encryption keys being stored in credentials files on disk. The identified functions are core components of Hadoop's credential management system:

  1. addSecretKey() directly handles encryption key storage in credentials
  2. writeConf() and writeTokenStorageFile() handle persistence of credentials to disk These would appear in stack traces during job submission and credential serialization when intermediate data encryption is enabled. The functions are clearly implicated by the vulnerability description of sensitive data being stored in credentials files.
