How to Fix CVE-2026-24713

To remediate this vulnerability, upgrade all affected Iotdb core dependencies to a patched release. Both direct and transitive dependencies should be checked, as frameworks or security libraries may pull in vulnerable versions transitively.

org.apache.iotdb:iotdb-core fixed: 1.3.7 
<dependency>
    <groupId>org.apache.iotdb</groupId>
    <artifactId>iotdb-core</artifactId>
    <version>1.3.7</version>
</dependency>
org.apache.iotdb:iotdb-core fixed: 2.0.7 
<dependency>
    <groupId>org.apache.iotdb</groupId>
    <artifactId>iotdb-core</artifactId>
    <version>2.0.7</version>
</dependency>
Verify Direct and Transitive Dependencies

Run the following command in your project directory to verify that all resolved dependencies use the patched release: 

mvn dependency:tree -Dincludes=org.apache.iotdb

How to Check if You Are Affected

To determine whether your Java application is affected by CVE-2026-24713, inspect your build dependencies using the Maven Dependency Plugin:

mvn dependency:tree -Dincludes=org.apache.iotdb

Analyze the terminal output to locate any version of Iotdb core in your dependency tree. If any resolved version matches the vulnerable ranges listed in the table below (for example, versions earlier than 1.3.7), your application is affected.

Note: The mvn dependency:tree -Dincludes=org.apache.iotdb command inspects the resolved dependency graph declared in your project's POM files; it does not perform automated security scanning or inspect runtime dynamic classpaths. Always verify runtime container classpaths and shaded JARs.

Technical Details

Vulnerability Mechanism & Technical Analysis

This vulnerability is classified under CWE-917: Improper Neutralization of Special Elements used in an Expression Language Statement ('Expression Language Injection'), where the product constructs all or part of an expression language (el) statement in a framework such as a java server page (jsp) using externally-influenced input from an upstream component, but it does not neutralize or incorrectly neutralizes special elements that could modify the intended el statement before it is executed. In Iotdb core, software state validation or input boundaries are circumvented during processing. Review the official source advisory statement below for specific affected components, classes, and reproduction details.

Source Advisory Statement

Improper Input Validation vulnerability in Apache IoTDB. This issue affects Apache IoTDB: from 1.0.0 before 1.3.7, from 2.0.0 before 2.0.7. Users are recommended to upgrade to version 1.3.7 or 2.0.7, which fixes the issue.
