CVE-2025-62188 Apache Software Foundation CVE debrief

Who should care

Defenders responsible for Apache DolphinScheduler deployments should assess exposure and prioritize upgrading to version ≥ 3.2.0 if using 3.1.x. This includes operators, platform administrators, vulnerability management teams, and security teams who need to verify and restrict exposed management endpoints, and review compensating controls for exposed systems.

Why it matters

Defenders should prioritize upgrading Apache DolphinScheduler to version ≥ 3.2.0 if using 3.1.x due to potential unauthorized access to sensitive information. Exposure of Sensitive Information to an Unauthorized Actor vulnerability exists in versions 3.1.*.

• Potential unauthorized access to sensitive information, including database credentials
• Need to verify and restrict exposed management endpoints
• Priority on upgrading to version ≥ 3.2.0 if using 3.1.x
• Possible impact on confidentiality due to Exposure of Sensitive Information

Technical summary

An Exposure of Sensitive Information to an Unauthorized Actor vulnerability exists in Apache DolphinScheduler versions 3.1.*. This vulnerability may allow unauthorized actors to access sensitive information, including database credentials. The issue affects Apache DolphinScheduler versions 3.1.* and users are recommended to upgrade to version ≥ 3.2.0 if using 3.1.x. As a temporary workaround, users who cannot upgrade immediately may restrict the exposed management endpoints by setting the MANAGEMENT_ENDPOINTS_WEB_EXPOSURE_INCLUDE environment variable or add configuration to the application.yaml file.

Defensive priority

Defenders should prioritize upgrading Apache DolphinScheduler to version ≥ 3.2.0 if using 3.1.x.

Recommended defensive actions

• Upgrade Apache DolphinScheduler to version ≥ 3.2.0 if using 3.1.x
• Restrict exposed management endpoints by setting MANAGEMENT_ENDPOINTS_WEB_EXPOSURE_INCLUDE environment variable
• Add configuration to application.yaml file to limit endpoint exposure
• Confirm whether affected product deployments exist in managed environments and assign an owner for follow-up
• Review compensating controls for exposed systems while remediation is scheduled and verified
• Check relevant monitoring, detection, and logs for exposed assets that need extra review
• Track exceptions, retest remediated assets, and close the item only after evidence is documented
