SQLi via a backend catalog-refresh API most plausibly requires an authenticated operator session, so PR:L rather than the vendor's PR:N; network vector and full CIA impact retained for injection into backing SQL.

AnalysisAI

SQL injection in Apache Kylin (versions 4 through 5.0.3) allows attackers to inject arbitrary SQL through a backend API used to refresh the table catalog, where untrusted input is concatenated into a dynamically generated SQL statement. The upstream CVSS 3.1 vector rates this as unauthenticated (PR:N) with full confidentiality, integrity, and availability impact (9.8), enabling database read/write and potentially further compromise. There is no public exploit identified at time of analysis and it is not listed in CISA KEV.

Technical ContextAI

Apache Kylin is a distributed open-source OLAP (Online Analytical Processing) engine for big data, providing sub-second query latency over large datasets via pre-computed cubes, typically layered on Hadoop/Spark/HBase and metadata stores. The flaw is a classic CWE-89 (Improper Neutralization of Special Elements used in an SQL Command): a backend API that refreshes the table catalog builds a SQL statement by concatenating attacker-influenced values (such as table or schema identifiers) instead of using parameterized queries or proper identifier escaping. Because catalog-refresh logic interacts directly with the underlying metadata/data source, injected special elements alter the query the engine executes, breaking out of the intended query structure. CPE cpe:2.3:a:apache:kylin:*:*:*:*:*:*:*:* identifies the affected product line, with the fix landing in 5.0.4 (tracked as KYLIN-6089).

RemediationAI

Vendor-released patch: upgrade to Apache Kylin 5.0.4, which fixes the SQL injection per the Apache advisory (https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/KYLIN-6089 and https://seclists.org/oss-sec/2026/q3/134); this is the primary and recommended action for all deployments running versions 4 through 5.0.3. If an immediate upgrade is not possible, restrict network access to the Kylin backend/administrative API endpoints so the table-catalog refresh function is reachable only from trusted management networks, and place Kylin behind authentication and an access-controlled reverse proxy or firewall rule - the trade-off is that legitimate catalog-refresh automation from other hosts may break and must be allowlisted. Additionally ensure the database account Kylin uses for catalog operations runs with least privilege to limit the blast radius of a successful injection, accepting that overly tight grants can interfere with normal cube-build/metadata operations.
