Apache HugeGraph-Server: Authentication Bypass by Spoofing

CVE-2024-27349 is a critical-severity authentication bypass by spoofing vulnerability in Apache HugeGraph-Server from Apache, with a CVSS 3.1 base score of 9.1 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 1.3.0 as the first without the flaw, so updating Apache HugeGraph-Server to that release or later removes the exposure. There is no confirmed exploitation so far. EPSS estimates a 1.02% chance of exploitation within 30 days, higher than 64% of scored CVEs.
