Official description Straight from the sourceThe vendor's or NVD's own wording, published unedited. Authoritative, but often terse — it says what broke, rarely what to do.

NVD · unedited
In Apache Linkis <=1.3.0 when used with the MySQL Connector/J, a deserialization vulnerability with possible remote code execution impact exists when an attacker has write access to a database and configures new datasource with a MySQL data source and malicious parameters. Therefore, the parameters in the jdbc url should be blacklisted. Versions of Apache Linkis <= 1.3.0 will be affected. We recommend users to upgrade the version of Linkis to version 1.3.1.

Technical summary Written by usOur analysis, written from the advisory, the CVSS vector and the affected-version data. It adds context the advisory leaves out, and never invents facts that are not in the source.

dbcve analysis · high confidence

Apache Linkis <=1.3.0 contains a deserialization vulnerability exploitable through MySQL Connector/J when an attacker with database write access configures a MySQL datasource with malicious JDBC URL parameters, potentially achieving remote code execution.

MitigationUpgrade to Apache Linkis 1.3.1 or later, which implements blacklist filtering for dangerous JDBC URL parameters.

Am I affected? How to checkSteps we derive from the advisory and the affected-version data, so you can decide whether this CVE reaches your setup. They are a guide, not a scan — your own configuration is the authority.

dbcve checks

Work through these to decide whether this CVE applies to you.

  1. Identify Apache Linkis version
    Locate the installed Linkis binaries or libraries and determine the version number. Common locations include /opt/linkis, /usr/local/linkis, or the application's lib directory. Check for files named linkis-*.jar or version.properties.
    Affected if The installed version is 1.3.0 or lower (any version <= 1.3.0).
  2. Confirm MySQL datasource functionality is in use
    Search for MySQL connector configuration files, datasource definition files, or database connection settings within the Linkis configuration directories. Look for files containing 'mysql', 'datasource', or 'jdbc' keywords.
    Affected if MySQL datasources are configured and the Linkis version is <= 1.3.0.
  3. Inspect MySQL datasource JDBC URL parameters
    Examine all MySQL datasource configuration files and identify the JDBC connection URL parameters. Look for entries in datasource configuration files that define connection strings (jdbc:mysql://...).
    Affected if Any JDBC URL contains suspicious parameters such as allowLoadLocalInfile, autoDeserialize, allowUrlInLocalInfile, or other potentially dangerous MySQL Connector/J parameters, combined with a Linkis version <= 1.3.0.
  4. Review datasource configuration write access
    Determine which users or roles have permission to create or modify datasource configurations within Linkis. Check datasource management settings, access control lists, or user permissions files.
    Affected if Users other than administrators have write access to datasource configurations and the Linkis version is <= 1.3.0.

A user is affected if they are running Apache Linkis version 1.3.0 or lower with MySQL datasource functionality enabled and configured, particularly if non-admin users can modify datasource JDBC URL parameters.

Upgrade available Upgrade to a release after 1.3.0
Interim mitigation

Upgrade to Apache Linkis 1.3.1 or later, which implements blacklist filtering for dangerous JDBC URL parameters.

Recommended fix High confidence

1.3.1

  1. Backup your current Linkis installation and database
  2. Stop the Linkis service
  3. Download Apache Linkis version 1.3.1 from the official Apache repository
  4. Upgrade Linkis to version 1.3.1 following the standard upgrade documentation
  5. Restart the Linkis service
  6. Verify the upgrade was successful and the service is functioning correctly
Caveat Review the 1.3.1 release notes for any configuration or behavior changes before upgrading
