## Description

In Apache Zeppelin prior to 0.8.0 the cron scheduler was enabled by default and could allow users to run paragraphs as other users without authentication.

## What to do

- Check your stack: if you ship or depend on Apache Software Foundation Apache Zeppelin, org.apache.zeppelin:zeppelin, upgrade to a fixed version (0.8.0) per the references below.
