Description
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.

AI Analysis

Impact

Apache DolphinScheduler contains an authorization flaw that allows any authenticated user to query /unauth-datasource and /authed-datasource endpoints and receive the full connection details of data sources they should not see, including passwords. The missing checks mean that data source configurations are exposed without verifying that the client has the proper access rights, so an attacker can harvest credentials for underlying databases.

Affected Systems

Apache DolphinScheduler versions prior to 3.4.3 from the Apache Software Foundation are affected, as all releases before this version contain the missing authorization checks on the two endpoints.

Risk and Exploitability

Because the flaw requires authentication, an attacker must already have legitimate user credentials within the application. The exposed credentials can lead to unauthorized read or modify access to the databases tied to the data source. No remote code execution is possible, yet credential theft can have severe impact. EPSS score is < 1% and the vulnerability is not listed in CISA KEV, but the potential for data compromise warrants prompt remediation. The CVSS score of 7.1 indicates a high severity risk.

Remediation

No solution or workaround provided in the CVE record.

OpenCVE Recommended Actions

  • Apply Apache DolphinScheduler 3.4.3 or later, which removes the missing authorization checks
  • Restrict user roles so that only users with explicit data‑source privileges can access the affected endpoints
  • Review and audit existing permissions, ensuring that users do not have unnecessary rights to query data source information
  • Monitor authentication logs for unexpected use of data‑source endpoints and investigate any anomalies
