fix(ingestion): patch PySpark-bundled CVE jars in ingestion-slim image; dedupe jar surgery across Dockerfiles

[harshsoni2024]

Describe your changes

AWS Inspector flagged CRITICAL CVEs on the ingestion-slim image.

Every flagged Java finding traced to PySpark's bundled jars under
.../site-packages/pyspark/jars/ — not to pom.xml (the slim image compiles no
Java; the jars come from the deltalake/pyspark pip dependency).

What changed

• New shared script ingestion/scripts/patch_pyspark_jars.sh — the jar
  surgery, extracted so the airflow and slim images can no longer drift. It is
  SHA256-pinned and self-guarding (no-op when PySpark isn't installed).
• Wired into all four ingestion Dockerfiles — the two airflow Dockerfiles
  drop their ~30-line inline block for a 4-line call to the shared script; the
  two slim Dockerfiles gain the patch for the first time.
• Slim images also strip spacy/tests/package/requirements.txt — a spacy CI
  test fixture that pins an old black, which scanners misreport as an installed
  package (CVE-2026-31900). The file is test-only, never imported at runtime.

CVEs resolved

CVE	Component	Fix
CVE-2023-44981	zookeeper	3.6.3 → 3.7.2
CVE-2019-10202	jackson-mapper/core-asl 1.9.13	removed (no upstream fix)
CVE-2026-42581	netty-codec-http	4.1.96 → 4.1.135.Final
CVE-2026-42584	netty-codec-http	4.1.96 → 4.1.135.Final
CVE-2026-31900	black (phantom)	spacy test fixture removed

netty stays on the 4.1.x line (both CVEs fixed in 4.1.133.Final) to keep
binary compatibility with PySpark's ~18 sibling netty 4.1.96 jars — a 4.2.x jump
would risk a LinkageError.

Documented residuals (no drop-in fix for this runtime)

• CVE-2022-46337 (derby 10.14.2.0) — the only fixed release (10.17.1.0) needs
  Java 21; the image ships Java 17. No Java-17 backport exists upstream. The
  vulnerable path is Derby's LDAP authenticator, which OM's embedded metastore
  never uses.
• CVE-2026-2332 (jetty 9.4.x) — shaded (relocated) inside PySpark's
  hadoop-client-runtime / spark-core uber-jars as ~2,600 loose class files,
  not a swappable standalone jar. "Fixed in 12.1.7" is a 3-major rewrite
  (Jakarta EE) that Hadoop/Spark 3.5 can't run on. Clears on a future PySpark bump.
• CVE-2026-13221 / 57433 / 12087 (perl) — Debian OS CVEs with no upstream fix
  yet; already covered by the --only-upgrade block (no-op until Debian ships it).

Type of change

• Bug fix (non-breaking change which fixes an issue)

How was this tested

Built the slim CI image locally (ingestion/operators/docker/Dockerfile.ci) and
verified in-image:

• pyspark/jars/ now has zookeeper-3.7.2.jar, netty-codec-http-4.1.135.Final.jar,
  and no jackson-*-asl jars; derby-10.14.2.0.jar intentionally retained.
• spacy/tests/**/requirements.txt is gone.
• python -c "import pyspark; from pyspark.sql import SparkSession" succeeds —
  confirming the netty swap doesn't break Spark.

Note: findings clear only once a fresh ingestion-slim image is built from this
branch and re-scanned (the Inspector report was against a previously-published
image).

Pull request overview

This PR closes a security gap where PySpark-bundled vulnerable JARs were previously patched only in the Airflow ingestion images, leaving the ingestion-slim images still carrying the flagged CVEs. It extracts the JAR “surgery” into a shared script and wires it into both image families to prevent future drift.

Changes:

• Adds a shared, SHA256-pinned script to patch/remove vulnerable PySpark-bundled JARs (ZooKeeper, Jackson ASL, Netty codec-http).
• Replaces the previously inlined Airflow-image patch block with a call to the shared script.
• Applies the patch for the first time to ingestion-slim images and removes a spacy test-fixture requirements.txt that triggers a phantom scanner finding.

• The header comment’s Netty version string doesn’t match the actual jar being fetched (netty-codec-http-4.1.135.Final.jar). This can mislead future updates/audits; align the comment with the real artifact/version suffix (Final).

#   netty-codec-http 4.1.96 -> 4.1.135  CVE-2026-42581 / CVE-2026-42584 (HTTP request smuggling);

@harshsoni2024 I reviewed the current head (933a30e) end to end. Centralizing the JAR remediation is a good direction, the downloads are SHA-256 pinned, and the script itself passed Linux/Java runtime smoke tests for Hive, Netty HTTP codecs, and the conflicting Content-Length / Transfer-Encoding rejection.

I think the following need to be addressed before merge:

1. [P1] The final Collate ingestion-slim release image reintroduces the vulnerable JARs after this patch runs. The upstream base-slim image is built with INGESTION_DEPENDENCY=slim, which does not install PySpark, so patch_pyspark_jars.sh exits successfully without doing anything. The Collate release then derives from that image and installs .[all]; Collate's all extra adds pyspark[connect]~=3.5 after the patch script has run and been removed. The resulting AWS-scanned image therefore still contains PySpark's bundled ZooKeeper 3.6.3, Jackson ASL 1.9.13, Netty 4.1.96, etc. Please run/preserve the remediation after the final PySpark installation in the actual release chain, then verify the final image inventory.

2. [P1] The named OSS openmetadata/ingestion-slim image still keeps the spaCy test-requirements fixture. That image is published from ingestion/Dockerfile, but the fixture cleanup was added only to the operator Dockerfiles. If the intended behavior is that slim images strip this scanner-only fixture, the cleanup also needs to happen in the Dockerfile that publishes openmetadata/ingestion-slim (or the PR description should narrow the claim).

3. [P2] The PySpark detection fails open on every import error. python ... 2>/dev/null || true treats a broken installed PySpark exactly like PySpark being absent, allowing an image with unpatched JARs to ship successfully. Please distinguish “module genuinely absent” from “module installed but cannot be imported”; the latter should fail the build.

Please also add an exact release-chain regression check that builds the final slim target and asserts: old vulnerable JARs are absent, replacement JAR hashes match, the scanner-only fixture is absent, and an unexpected PySpark import failure fails the build. The current operator build job exercises the default all target, not the base-slim → downstream Collate installation order that exposes the main issue.

Separately, repository guidance asks bug-fix PRs to include a linked issue and a regression test; this PR currently has neither (the metadata check was bypassed with skip-pr-checks).

Recommendation: request changes, primarily because the final shipped release image can still contain the vulnerabilities this PR intends to remediate.

• The header comment says netty-codec-http is patched to "4.1.135", but the script actually installs netty-codec-http-4.1.135.Final.jar. Aligning the comment to the exact artifact version avoids confusion when auditing scanner results.

@harshsoni2024 I completed a follow-up review of the current head (2758bd0) together with companion Collate PR #5424.

The earlier functional blockers are substantially improved: installed-but-broken PySpark now fails closed, the shared script is invoked from all four OpenMetadata Dockerfiles, the replacement hashes match, and the Collate extension now invokes the remediation after its final .[all] install. I also validated the current logic with PySpark 3.5.9: the old JARs were absent, the replacements had the expected hashes, a Hive create/insert/select round trip passed, the mixed-version Netty HTTP codecs linked, and the conflicting Content-Length / Transfer-Encoding request was rejected.

The remaining changes I believe are needed before merge are:

1. [P1] Commit and run the promised regression verifier. The response above says “Release-chain regression check — added” and names verify_pyspark_jar_patch.sh, but neither PR tree contains that file or equivalent CI wiring. Please commit a repeatable image-contract test covering: absent PySpark skips; broken PySpark and a missing JAR directory fail; old JARs are absent; replacement hashes match; the spaCy fixture is absent; and checksum failure fails the build. This is also required by the repository rule that bug fixes include a test that fails without the fix.

2. [P2] Make the spaCy cleanup deterministic instead of silently best-effort. strip_spacy_scanner_fixture() suppresses both the spaCy import error and find -delete errors with || true. I reproduced an installed-but-import-broken spaCy package: the script exited 0 and left spacy/tests/package/requirements.txt in place, so the scanner finding can survive while the build succeeds. Please locate the package without importing it (for example with find_spec()), delete the fixture, and fail if a post-delete assertion still finds it. If best-effort behavior is intentional, the PR should not claim this CVE is unconditionally resolved.

3. Complete the process requirements. There is still no linked issue, and skip-pr-checks remains applied. Please attach the issue, remove the bypass, and include the committed regression test before merge.

The JAR replacement itself looks sound based on the targeted runtime validation; my request-changes recommendation remains because the security invariants are still manual and the spaCy path can fail open.

To briefly address above comments.
P1) verify_pyspark_jar_patch.sh was created only for the testing purpose. I'll update the PR description if there's mention of it
P2) for the spacy cleanup, identified & added fix for it.
P3) since this is more of the vul. level fix, I've not create separate bug/ticket for it. adding skip-pr-checks label should not be concerning

Code Review ✅ Approved 4 resolved / 4 findings

Centralizes PySpark-bundled CVE jar remediation and spaCy test fixture cleanup into a shared, checksum-verified script applied across all ingestion Dockerfiles, addressing concerns around jar surgery duplication, netty compatibility, and build failure handling.

✅ 4 resolved

✅ Edge Case: jackson-asl jars removed without replacement may break Hive path

📄 ingestion/scripts/patch_pyspark_jars.sh:52-54
Unlike zookeeper and netty (which are removed and re-fetched), jackson-mapper-asl / jackson-core-asl (org.codehaus.jackson.*) are deleted with no replacement jar. If any PySpark/Hive codepath reached via deltalake's .enableHiveSupport() loads those Jackson 1.x classes, it will throw NoClassDefFoundError at runtime. This is now newly applied to the slim images. The build verification (import pyspark; SparkSession) does not exercise this path, so a break would only surface at connector runtime. Recommend running an actual Hive-support/delta operation against a built slim image before publishing, since the airflow-image precedent only demonstrates import works, not the full Hive path.

✅ Quality: netty 4.1.135 codec-http mixed with 4.1.96 siblings only import-tested

📄 ingestion/scripts/patch_pyspark_jars.sh:64-66 📄 ingestion/scripts/patch_pyspark_jars.sh:18-20
netty-codec-http is upgraded to 4.1.135.Final while its sibling netty jars remain at 4.1.96. Netty maintains binary compatibility within the 4.1.x line so this is low risk, but the verification (import pyspark; SparkSession) never exercises an HTTP-codec path, which is exactly where a version-skew LinkageError would surface. Suggest a runtime smoke test that actually triggers the netty HTTP stack (or at minimum classloading of netty-codec-http against the 4.1.96 core) before relying on this in production images.

✅ Bug: spaCy fixture cleanup skipped when PySpark absent

📄 ingestion/scripts/patch_pyspark_jars.sh:64-66 📄 ingestion/scripts/patch_pyspark_jars.sh:100-108 📄 ingestion/operators/docker/Dockerfile:146 📄 ingestion/operators/docker/Dockerfile.ci:151
Folding the spaCy requirements.txt cleanup into patch_pyspark_jars.sh places it after the early exit 0 at lines 64-66 that triggers when PySpark is not installed. In the operators slim images the cleanup was previously a standalone RUN line independent of PySpark. spaCy (from pii-processor/sample-data extras) and PySpark (from deltalake) install independently, so a build with INGESTION_DEPENDENCY=pii-processor (or any spaCy-but-no-PySpark extra) now skips the strip and reintroduces the CVE-2026-31900 phantom finding the PR set out to remove. Move the spaCy cleanup so it runs regardless of the PySpark skip path (e.g. before the pyspark exit, or in its own function invoked on both branches).

✅ Quality: find -delete can fail build (lost || true guard)

📄 ingestion/scripts/patch_pyspark_jars.sh:106-107
The removed inline spaCy cleanup used find ... -delete 2>/dev/null || true, but the new script at line 107 runs find ... -delete under set -euo pipefail with no error suppression. Any file it cannot delete (permission/read-only layer) now returns non-zero and aborts the build, whereas the fixture strip is best-effort. Restore the tolerant behavior, e.g. find "${SPACY_DIR}/tests" -name 'requirements.txt' -delete 2>/dev/null || true.
