Apache IoTDB Workbench: Improper Authentication
CVE-2023-24830 is a high-severity improper authentication vulnerability in Apache IoTDB Workbench from Apache, with a CVSS 3.1 base score of 7.5 out of 10. It can be exploited remotely over the network by an unauthenticated attacker, without any action from a user. The record lists version 0.13.3 as the first without the flaw, so updating Apache IoTDB Workbench to that release or later removes the exposure. There is no confirmed exploitation so far. EPSS estimates a 1.37% chance of exploitation within 30 days, higher than 72% of scored CVEs.
High severity with no evidence of exploitation so far.
What to do
- Update Apache IoTDB Workbench to 0.13.3 or a later version.
- Update Iotdb to 0.13.3 or a later version.
- Read the advisory on lists.apache.org for workarounds and exact fixed builds.
- Until you can update, restrict network access to the affected service so it is not reachable from untrusted networks.
