Description
Incorrect Authorization vulnerability in Apache Doris allows an authenticated user to bypass privilege checks and access or modify data they are not authorized to.



This issue affects Apache Doris: from 3.1.0 through 3.1.*, from 4.0.0 through 4.0.7, and from 4.1.0 through 4.1.3.



Users are recommended to upgrade to a fixed release (4.0.8 or 4.1.4), which fixes the issue.

AI Analysis

Impact

The vulnerability is an incorrect authorization check that lets an authenticated user bypass privilege verification and perform any DML or DDL operation on tables in Apache Doris. This permits reading, writing, or dropping arbitrary tables, compromising data confidentiality, integrity, and availability. The weakness corresponds to CWE-863.

Affected Systems

Affected software is Apache Doris developed by the Apache Software Foundation. Versions 3.1.0 through 3.1.*, 4.0.0 through 4.0.7, and 4.1.0 through 4.1.3 are vulnerable.

Risk and Exploitability

The flaw can be exploited by any authenticated user; no additional privileges are needed, making it possible for low‑privilege accounts to gain full control over database objects. The EPSS score is < 1%, indicating a low probability of exploitation, and the vulnerability is not listed in CISA's KEV catalog, but the high CVSS score of 8.8 and the impact of privilege escalation suggest a high risk. Attackers would need authenticated access, likely through the application or client connections, to issue privileged queries and bypass checks.
