CVE-2026-24013: CWE-290 Authentication Bypass by Spoofing in Apache Software Foundation Apache IoTDB
Authentication Bypass by Spoofing vulnerability in Apache IoTDB. Certain Thrift RPC query handlers lack strict validation of the sessionId parameter. An attacker can construct requests with a forged sessionId and, without performing openSession authentication, receive valid query results. This allows authentication bypass and unauthorized reading of time-series data. 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
Apache IoTDB versions 1.3.3 through before 2.0.8 contain an authentication bypass vulnerability (CWE-290) due to insufficient validation of the sessionId parameter in some Thrift RPC query handlers. Attackers can send requests with forged sessionIds to bypass the openSession authentication process and obtain valid query results without proper authorization, leading to unauthorized access to time-series data. The vulnerability is fixed in version 2.0.8.
Potential Impact
An attacker can bypass authentication controls and access time-series data without valid credentials by exploiting the lack of strict sessionId validation. This unauthorized data access could lead to confidentiality breaches of sensitive time-series information stored in Apache IoTDB.
Mitigation Recommendations
Users should upgrade Apache IoTDB to version 2.0.8 or later, where this authentication bypass vulnerability has been fixed. Patch status is confirmed by the vendor's recommendation to upgrade. No alternative mitigations or temporary fixes are indicated.
