Name of the Vulnerable Software and Affected Versions Apache Ranger versions prior to 0.5.1

Description The issue concerns the Admin UI in Apache Ranger, where it fails to properly handle authentication requests that lack a password. This allows remote attackers to bypass authentication if they have knowledge of a valid username.
