Exploitation Conditions

Exploitation requires a valid authenticated session in Apache InLong - the attacker must be a logged-in user of the platform but specifically one who is NOT assigned as a 'template responsible person' for the targeted template. The authorization bypass occurs at the template visibility layer. Limiting factors: requires authenticated access (PR:L or higher), affects only environments running Apache InLong 2.0.0 through 2.3.x, and is limited to reading template information rather than modifying it (based on description). If a separate resource exhaustion path exists per CWE-400, conditions for that path are unknown from available data - verify with vendor advisory.

Impact

No CVSS vector or score has been published by NVD or the reporter, making quantitative risk comparison impossible from available data. EPSS data is absent. The vulnerability is not listed in the CISA KEV catalog and no POC has been identified, so active exploitation is not confirmed. The description implies a low-privilege, network-accessible path to read restricted template information, which would suggest a moderate-to-low confidentiality impact in isolation. However, the CWE-400/DoS tags introduce unresolved ambiguity: if resource exhaustion is also present, availability impact must be evaluated separately. The mismatch between the DoS classification and the information-disclosure description is a significant data quality concern - the actual exploitable attack surface may be broader or narrower than either characterization alone suggests. Defenders should treat this primarily as an access control issue with uncertain availability impact until the vendor or NVD publishes a CVSS vector.

Exploit ScenarioDerived

An authenticated InLong user who lacks the 'template responsible person' role accesses the template management endpoint directly, bypassing the intended authorization check to read template configurations belonging to other data stream owners. Because no public exploit has been identified, exploitation likely requires knowledge of the endpoint and a valid session, limiting opportunistic attacks. If the CWE-400 characterization is accurate in addition to the access control issue, a separate resource exhaustion path may also exist.

AnalysisAIv1 – Aug 20, 2026

Unauthorized template information disclosure in Apache InLong 2.0.0 through 2.3.x allows authenticated users who are not designated template responsible persons to view template configurations they should not have access to. The CVE is tagged CWE-400 (Uncontrolled Resource Consumption) and classified as Denial of Service, yet the description describes an access control bypass - this is a data contradiction that analysts should flag before making control decisions. No public exploit or active exploitation has been identified. Vendor fix is available in Apache InLong 2.4.0.

RemediationAI

Upgrade to Apache InLong 2.4.0 or later, which is the vendor-confirmed fix version per the advisory at https://lists.apache.org/thread/b7bvsg59bo619rywwpd7tj66rkzz62k4. For environments that cannot immediately upgrade, cherry-picking the upstream fixes from GitHub pull requests https://github.com/apache/inlong/pull/12093 and https://github.com/apache/inlong/pull/11732 is cited as an alternative; however, this constitutes an upstream fix available via PR/commit, and a fully released patched build should be preferred to ensure build and test coverage. Compensating controls while awaiting upgrade should focus on restricting access to the InLong management interface to trusted internal networks or authenticated VPN users, and auditing current role-to-template assignments to identify any unauthorized access that may have already occurred.

Technical ContextAI · show details

Apache InLong is an Apache Software Foundation project providing a one-stop data integration framework for streaming, batch, and hybrid data pipelines, commonly deployed in enterprise big data environments. The affected component manages data stream or process templates and the responsible-person assignment model that governs who can read those templates. The official CWE classification is CWE-400 (Uncontrolled Resource Consumption), which typically describes DoS-class flaws where resource limits are not enforced; however, the vulnerability description instead describes an authorization bypass where non-authorized users can read template data. These two characterizations are inconsistent - either the CWE is mis-assigned or the description is incomplete. The CPE string cpe:2.3:a:apache_software_foundation:apache_inlong:*:*:*:*:*:*:*:* covers all InLong versions from 2.0.0 up to but not including 2.4.0.
