CVE-2026-108780: Apache Kylin JDBC source configuration validation vulnerability

CVE-2026-108780 · Severity: info · Published 2026-10-19

Apache Kylin is an open-source data warehouse platform that processes and serves large datasets. A validation weakness in JDBC database source configuration could allow unauthorized access to database connection details, though the risk is minimal unless Kylin backend services are exposed to untrusted networks. Organizations should upgrade to the patched version to eliminate the potential exposure.

Technologies: Apache Kylin. Vendors: Apache.
