MITRE ATT&CK
1 technique across 1 tactic: Privilege Escalation The technique list with ATT&CK links and the kill-chain view is part of the Basic plan and up. |
| Exploitation Conditions | Exploitation requires the attacker to already possess a valid authenticated account on the Apache Doris cluster - the CVSS vector specifies PR:L, so an unauthenticated outsider cannot reach the vulnerable code path without first obtaining credentials. The target must be running an affected release: 3.1.0 through 3.1.*, 4.0.0 through 4.0.7, or 4.1.0 through 4.1.3. The attacker must be able to reach the Doris FE query interface over the network (MySQL-protocol port 9030 or the HTTP API), meaning clusters firewalled so the FE is unreachable from the attacker's network are not remotely reachable. Exploitation is limited by the fact that the attacker's account must at least be valid and enabled, and by any deployment that places all users in a single trust domain where the privilege boundary delivers little extra value; no user interaction, special configuration flag, or non-default feature enablement is identified in the supplied data as a further prerequisite. |
| Impact | The signals here are mostly consistent and point to a serious but not-yet-weaponized issue: CVSS 3.1 scores 8.8 with AV:N/AC:L/PR:L/UI:N and full C/I/A impacts, meaning a single low-privileged authenticated session over the network can read, modify, and destroy data across tenancy boundaries; SSVC rates Exploitation as 'none' and Automatable as 'no' but Technical Impact as 'total', which frames this as high-consequence-but-not-yet-automated. There is no KEV listing and no public exploit identified, so exploitation requires either manual crafting or insider/credentialed access - but the low complexity of the vector means a curious or malicious user with any valid account could iterate against the privilege checks, so even a mid-sized municipal IT team in kielce should treat this as urgent to patch. The principal uncertainty is that the CVSS vector comes without an accompanying CVSS 4.0 assessment or EPSS score, and the reference list contains no vendor CVE page beyond the Apache mailing-list thread and the NVD record, so the exact privilege-check path is inferred from CWE-863 and the description rather than a public technical write-up. |
| Exploit ScenarioDerived | An attacker who holds any valid low-privileged Doris account - for example a read-only analyst or a compromised service credential - connects to the FE over the network and issues crafted queries that exploit the flawed privilege check to read tables, catalogs, or row groups belonging to other tenants. Because complexity is low and no user interaction is needed, the attacker can then modify or delete that unauthorized data, or issue administrative operations that should have required elevated privileges, with high impact across confidentiality, integrity, and availability. |

Alert meAnalysisAIv1 – Sep 15, 2026
Apache Doris contains an incorrect authorization flaw (CWE-863) that lets an authenticated user bypass privilege checks and reach data or operations they should not be permitted to touch. Affected branches are 3.1.0 through 3.1.*, 4.0.0 through 4.0.7, and 4.1.0 through 4.1.3; the CVSS 3.1 vector of AV:N/AC:L/PR:L/UI:N with high confidentiality, integrity, and availability impact places this in the critical severity band. No public exploit code has been identified at time of analysis and the issue is not listed in CISA KEV, though the vendor describes the technical impact as total and CVSS 8.8 reflects broad read/write exposure within the cluster.
RemediationAI
Upgrade to a fixed release: Apache Doris 4.0.8 or 4.1.4 are the versions the vendor names as containing the fix; users on 3.1.* should move to 4.0.8 at minimum since the advisory enumerates no 3.1.x fix release. Confirm the upgrade against the Apache announcement at https://lists.apache.org/thread/sxlno9bngg3gk59rxqq7yfqm7bfyj3ph before scheduling maintenance. If immediate upgrade is not possible, compensating controls carry trade-offs: tightly restrict which accounts hold even low-level privileges on the FE and rotate/disable unused accounts, since any valid authenticated session is a potential foothold; restrict network reachability to the Doris FE MySQL-protocol port (default 9030) and HTTP port (8030) to trusted application subnets only, which breaks direct analyst access from less-trusted networks; and enable query auditing plus per-catalog access review so cross-tenant reads/writes are at least detectable, though auditing detects rather than prevents the bypass. None of these controls remove the underlying incorrect authorization logic, so they should be treated as temporary.

Technical ContextAI · show details
Apache Doris is a distributed, MPP-style real-time analytical database used for OLAP workloads, with components including FE (frontend metadata/query planning, MySQL-protocol compatible) and BE (backend storage/execution), plus multi-tenant concepts of catalogs, databases, tables, and users. The flaw is an authorization defect classified as CWE-863 (Incorrect Authorization), meaning the privilege-checking logic does not correctly enforce the authenticated user's grants - an attacker holding any valid low-privileged account can reach objects or operations that should be gated by stricter privileges. Because Doris exposes a MySQL-compatible query interface over the network on FE nodes, the attack surface is the normal SQL/REST connection path rather than local host access, which is consistent with the AV:N/AC:L/PR:L/UI:N metrics. The CWE-863 root cause implies the fix is in the authorizer/privilege resolution layer rather than a memory-safety or injection bug.

Lifecycle Timeline
3DescriptionCVE.org
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.
