CVE-2026-24013: Apache IoTDB authentication bypass in Thrift RPC query handlers

CVE-2026-24013 · Severity: low · CVSS 3.1 · Published 2026-07-06

Apache IoTDB, a database designed for managing large amounts of time-series data, contains a security flaw that allows unauthorized users to bypass login requirements. By forging a session identifier, an attacker can trick the system into providing access to sensitive data without a valid password. This could lead to the unauthorized disclosure of proprietary sensor data or operational metrics stored within the database.

Technologies: Apache Software Foundation IoTDB, apache-iotdb (PyPI). Vendors: Apache Software Foundation, PyPI.

It is attacked over the network, in a network appliance.
Am I affected by CVE-2026-24013?
Check whether you run Apache Software Foundation IoTDB or apache-iotdb (PyPI) at an affected version. Junglewise does that check for you around the clock: connect your code, cloud and domains, and it matches new vulnerabilities like this one against what you actually run and tells you when one reaches you.

How to fix

  • apache-iotdb (PyPI): upgrade to 2.0.8 or later
    pip install "apache-iotdb>=2.0.8"

Technical details

An authentication bypass vulnerability exists in Apache IoTDB due to insufficient validation of the sessionId parameter within certain Thrift RPC query handlers. The root cause is a failure to strictly verify that a provided sessionId has undergone the standard openSession authentication process. A remote, unauthenticated attacker can exploit this by constructing malicious RPC requests with a forged sessionId to retrieve valid query results. This allows for unauthorized reading of time-series data. The issue is fixed in version 2.0.8.
