CVE-2026-24012: CWE-400 Uncontrolled Resource Consumption in Apache Software Foundation Apache IoTDB
Uncontrolled Resource Consumption vulnerability in Apache IoTDB. Some interface fails to impose reasonable limits on the time span and aggregation interval of the query. An attacker can construct a request with extreme parameters (e.g., a very large time range combined with a minimal interval). This forces the DataNode to build an enormous result set in memory, which exhausts the Java heap and causes the DataNode process to crash. This issue affects Apache IoTDB: from 1.3.3 before 2.0.8. Users are recommended to upgrade to version 2.0.8, which fixes the issue.
AI Analysis
Technical Summary
CVE-2026-24012 is an uncontrolled resource consumption vulnerability in Apache IoTDB affecting versions from 1.3.3 before 2.0.8. The vulnerability occurs because some query interfaces fail to impose reasonable limits on the time span and aggregation interval parameters. This allows an attacker to submit requests with extreme parameters, forcing the DataNode to build an excessively large result set in memory. The resulting Java heap exhaustion causes the DataNode process to crash, leading to denial of service. The issue is resolved by upgrading to Apache IoTDB version 2.0.8.
Potential Impact
Successful exploitation results in denial of service due to the DataNode process crashing from Java heap exhaustion. This can disrupt availability of the affected Apache IoTDB service. There is no indication of data breach or privilege escalation from the provided information.
Mitigation Recommendations
Users should upgrade Apache IoTDB to version 2.0.8 or later, where this vulnerability is fixed. No other mitigation or temporary workaround is specified. Patch status is confirmed by the vendor advisory recommending upgrade to 2.0.8.
