Authorization Flaw in Apache (CVE-2026-71183)
Summary
Vulnerability in Apache (CVE-2026-71183). Confidential information can be exposed externally.
Original description
The description as published by the source.
An authorization vulnerability in Apache DolphinScheduler allows authenticated users to obtain information about data sources they are not authorized to access through the /unauth-datasource and /authed-datasource endpoints.
These endpoints fail to enforce the required data source access controls and return sensitive connection information, including data source passwords. As a result, an authenticated user without permission to access a data source can retrieve its connection details and credentials.
Successful exploitation exposes sensitive data source information and may enable unauthorized access to the underlying databases using the disclosed credentials.
This issue affects Apache DolphinScheduler: before 3.4.3.
Users are recommended to upgrade to version 3.4.3, which fixes the issue.

-
1Identify exposure identify
grep -r 'Apache' . | grep -v node_modulesリポジトリと本番環境の依存ファイル (package-lock.json / requirements.txt / go.sum / Gemfile.lock 等) で
Apacheを grep し、稼働しているサービス・バージョンを把握する。 -
2Post-deployment verification verify
Confirm patched version is live in productionパッチ適用後、ステージングで PoC または同等の悪用パターンを再現して脆弱性が閉じたことを確認。本番ではアクセスログ・WAF でアラート再発が無いか継続監視。
