CVE-2023-24831
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 · uneditedImproper Authentication vulnerability in Apache Software Foundation Apache IoTDB.This issue affects Apache IoTDB Grafana Connector: from 0.13.0 through 0.13.3. Attackers could login without authorization. This is fixed in 0.13.4.
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 confidenceImproper authentication vulnerability in Apache IoTDB Grafana Connector versions 0.13.0-0.13.3 allows attackers to bypass authentication and login without authorization, resulting in unauthorized access to the IoTDB system through the Grafana integration.

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 checksWork through these to decide whether this CVE applies to you.
-
Identify if Apache IoTDB Grafana Connector is deployedCheck for running services or installed packages related to IoTDB Grafana Connector. Look for grafana-connector, iotdb-grafana, or similar naming in your deployment artifacts, containers, or service inventory.Affected if The Grafana Connector component for IoTDB is present in the environment
-
Determine the installed version of IoTDB Grafana ConnectorCheck the version of the deployed Grafana Connector. This may be found in the JAR file name, docker image tag, build metadata, or a version configuration file included with the connector deployment.Affected if The installed version is 0.13.0, 0.13.1, 0.13.2, or 0.13.3
-
Verify the Grafana Connector network exposureInspect network configuration, firewall rules, or service bindings to determine if the Grafana Connector endpoint is accessible from untrusted networks or the public internet.Affected if The Grafana Connector is reachable from network segments outside the trusted boundary
-
Check if Grafana authentication integration is enabledReview the Grafana Connector configuration files to determine whether the authentication module linking Grafana to IoTDB session management is configured and active.Affected if The connector authentication module is enabled and the connector is network-accessible
The environment is affected if the Apache IoTDB Grafana Connector version 0.13.0-0.13.3 is deployed and network-accessible with authentication enabled.

Remediation Closing itWhat it takes to close this. Where a vendor fix exists we point at it; where none exists we say so plainly, and can build one. Effort estimates are scoped from the advisory, not from your codebase.
dbcve · scopedUpgrade Apache IoTDB Grafana Connector to version 0.13.4 or later. If immediate upgrade is not feasible, restrict network access to the Grafana Connector endpoint using firewall rules or network segmentation to minimize exposure.
0.13.4
- Upgrade Apache IoTDB to version 0.13.4 or later to remediate the improper authentication vulnerability
