CVE-2026-62764

Improper Handling of Insufficient Privileges vulnerability in Apache Accumulo. An authenticated, but low-privileged user without system permissions may issue a remote command to gracefully shutdown system components (compaction-coordinator, compactor, gc, manager, monitor, tserver, or sserver), leading to a denial of service. This issue affects Apache Accumulo 2.1.4 and 2.1.5. Users are recommended to upgrade to version 2.1.6, which fixes the issue.

Summary		(es) Vulnerabilidad de Manejo Inadecuado de Privilegios Insuficientes en Apache Accumulo. Un usuario autenticado, pero con pocos privilegios y sin permisos de sistema, puede emitir un comando remoto para apagar de forma controlada los componentes del sistema (coordinador de compactación, compactador, gc, gestor, monitor, tserver o sserver), lo que lleva a una denegación de servicio. Este problema afecta a Apache Accumulo 2.1.4 y 2.1.5. Se recomienda a los usuarios actualizar a la versión 2.1.6, que soluciona el problema.
