Overview
Affected versions of this package are vulnerable to Files or Directories Accessible to External Parties via the jarURI parameter in FlinkSessionJob's validateSessionJob(), which is not properly validated. A user with Custom Resource create permissions can access arbitrary files from the operator pod's filesystem with file:// scheme URLs, or retrieve content from any accessible backing store by submitting a crafted Flink job. Additionally, by specifying http/https addresses, an attacker can make requests to internal or link-local network resources due to the absence of URI scheme allowlisting, host checks, or IP-range restrictions.
