An Exposure of Sensitive Information to an Unauthorized Actor vulnerability exists in Apache DolphinScheduler. This vulnerability may allow unauthorized actors to access sensitive information, including database credentials. This issue affects Apache DolphinScheduler versions 3.1.*. Users are recommended to upgrade to: * version ≥ 3.2.0 if using 3.1.x As a temporary workaround, users who cannot upgrade immediately may restrict the exposed management endpoints by setting the following environment variable: ``` MANAGEMENT_ENDPOINTS_WEB_EXPOSURE_INCLUDE=health,metrics,prometheus ``` Alternatively, add the following configuration to the application.yaml file: ``` management: endpoints: web: exposure: include: health,metrics,prometheus ``` This issue has been reported as CVE-2023-48796: https://cveprocess.apache.org/cve5/CVE-2023-48796
This vulnerability carries a HIGH severity rating with a CVSS v3.1 score of 7.5, indicating it can be exploited remotely over the network with relatively low complexity without requiring user interaction and does not require pre-existing privileges . The vulnerability impacts confidentiality (data exposure), for affected systems. Impacting 1 product from apache organizations running these solutions should prioritize assessment and patching.
Reported in 2026, this vulnerability emerged during an era marked by increased sophistication in supply chain attacks, cloud infrastructure vulnerabilities, and software-as-a-service (SaaS) security challenges. Security practices during this period emphasized zero-trust architectures, container security, and API protection.

SecUtils normalizes and enriches National Vulnerability Database (NVD) records by standardizing vendor and product identifiers, aggregating vulnerability metadata from both NVD and MITRE sources, and providing structured context for security teams. For apache's affected products, we extract Common Platform Enumeration (CPE) data, Common Weakness Enumeration (CWE) classifications, CVSS severity metrics, and reference data to enable rapid vulnerability prioritization and asset correlation. This record contains no exploit code, proof-of-concept instructions, or attack methodologies—only defensive intelligence necessary for patch management, risk assessment, and security operations.
