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 if HugeGraph-Server is installed
    Locate the HugeGraph installation directory or check running processes for hugegraph-related services
    Affected if HugeGraph-Server is not present on the system, then this CVE does not apply
  2. Determine the installed version
    Run 'hugegraph --version' or check the version file in the installation directory, such as a version.properties or release notes file
    Affected if The version is >= 1.0.0 and < 1.3.0, indicating a vulnerable version
  3. Verify authentication is enabled
    Check the HugeGraph configuration file (often conf/hugegraph.properties or similar) for auth-related settings such as 'authenticator' or 'authentication' parameters
    Affected if Authentication is enabled in the configuration, meaning the bypass vulnerability can be exploited
  4. Confirm server is network accessible
    Check if the HugeGraph REST API ports (typically 8080 or 8081) are exposed and listening
    Affected if The server is externally accessible, increasing exposure to potential attackers

You are affected if HugeGraph-Server is running with a version between 1.0.0 and 1.3.0 and authentication is configured, as the bypass allows unauthorized access to the graph database.

Upgrade available Upgrade to 1.3.0 or later
Fixed in 1.3.0
Interim mitigation

Upgrade to Apache HugeGraph-Server version 1.3.0 or later, which contains the fix for this authentication bypass vulnerability.

Recommended fix High confidence

Apache HugeGraph-Server 1.3.0

  1. 1. Backup all existing HugeGraph data and configuration files before proceeding with the upgrade
  2. 2. Download Apache HugeGraph-Server version 1.3.0 from the official Apache download repository (downloads.apache.org)
  3. 3. Stop the currently running HugeGraph-Server service
  4. 4. Replace the existing installation with version 1.3.0, preserving custom configuration files
  5. 5. Start the upgraded HugeGraph-Server service
  6. 6. Verify the service is running correctly and authentication is functioning as expected
