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 confidenceThis is a broken access control vulnerability in Apache InLong where the permission assignment for subscription deletion is incorrectly implemented. An authenticated attacker who is not the owner of a subscription can delete other users' subscriptions, leading to unauthorized data loss and disruption of service.

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 Apache InLong installationLocate the InLong installation directory and check for inlong-manager service. Common paths include /opt/inlong or check via 'ps aux | grep inlong'Affected if Apache InLong is not installed or the service is not running
-
Check installed InLong versionLook for a version file in the installation directory, typically in VERSION or pom.xml files within the inlong-manager component, or check 'inlong-manager --version' if availableAffected if The version is >= 1.2.0 and <= 1.6.0
-
Verify subscription feature is enabledCheck InLong configuration files (inlong-manager.conf or application.yml) for subscription-related settings and whether the subscription module is present and activeAffected if Subscription management feature is configured and active in the environment
-
Check user configuration for multi-user setupReview user and role configuration in the database or configuration files to determine if multiple user accounts exist with subscription creation permissionsAffected if Multiple non-admin users are configured with access to create or manage subscriptions
The environment is affected if Apache InLong version 1.2.0 through 1.6.0 is installed with the subscription feature enabled and multiple users have access to subscription management.
