CVE-2026-68571: Apache Kylin code injection in JDBC URL parameter

CVE-2026-68571 · Severity: info · Published 2026-10-16

Apache Kylin is an open-source analytics platform used for big data analysis. A code injection vulnerability in JDBC URL parameter handling allows attackers to execute arbitrary code if Kylin is exposed directly to the public network. This primarily affects publicly exposed deployments rather than internal corporate installations.

Technologies: Apache Kylin. Vendors: Apache.
