CVE-2026-24014: Apache IoTDB path traversal in DataNode RPC interface

CVE-2026-24014 · Severity: low · CVSS 3.1 · Published 2026-07-06

Apache IoTDB is a database designed for managing large amounts of Internet of Things (IoT) data. A security flaw in its internal communication interface allows an attacker to bypass file storage restrictions if the system's internal ports are exposed to the network. This could allow an attacker to write malicious files to the server, potentially leading to a full system compromise or data loss.

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

Is there a fix for CVE-2026-24014?
Yes. apache-iotdb (PyPI): upgrade to 2.0.8 or later. Junglewise finds every place you run it, drafts the upgrade and applies it once you approve.
How is CVE-2026-24014 attacked?
It is attacked over the network, in a network appliance.
Am I affected by CVE-2026-24014?
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

A path traversal vulnerability exists in the Apache IoTDB DataNode's internal RPC interface. The root cause is insufficient validation of the Trigger JAR filename during the creation of Trigger instances, which is used to construct a local file path. If the internal DataNode RPC port is accessible over the network, an attacker can provide a filename containing traversal sequences (e.g., ../) to write arbitrary files outside the designated trigger directory. This exploit grants the attacker the ability to write files with the same privileges as the IoTDB process. The issue is resolved in version 2.0.8.
