dataease: Improper Verification of Cryptographic Signature

CVE-2026-46684 is a critical-severity improper verification of cryptographic signature vulnerability in dataease, with a CVSS 4.0 base score of 9.5 out of 10. It can be exploited remotely over the network by an unauthenticated attacker, without any action from a user. Affected dataease versions: < 2.10.23. The record does not name a fixed version, so check the vendor advisory. There is no confirmed exploitation so far. EPSS estimates a 0.32% chance of exploitation within 30 days, which is low compared with other CVEs.

Critical severity: a successful attack would have severe impact.

What to do

  1. Check which version of dataease you run against the affected versions below, and install the vendor's latest release.
  2. Read the advisory on github.com for workarounds and exact fixed builds.
  3. Until you can update, restrict network access to the affected service so it is not reachable from untrusted networks.

Official description

DataEase is an open source data visualization and analysis tool. Prior to 2.10.23, DataEase enterprise token handling can let TokenFilter#doFilter() pass X-DE-TOKEN values to TokenUtils.validate(), which checks only token presence and length before userBOByToken(token) uses JWT.decode() without signature verification, allowing forged tokens with chosen uid and oid values to be accepted when licenseValid=true. This issue is fixed in version 2.10.23.
