CVE-2024-48019
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 Limitation of a Pathname to a Restricted Directory ('Path Traversal'), Files or Directories Accessible to External Parties vulnerability in Apache Doris. Application administrators can read arbitrary files from the server filesystem through path traversal. Users are recommended to upgrade to version 2.1.8, 3.0.3 or later, which fixes the issue.
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 · moderate confidenceApache Doris contains a path traversal vulnerability that allows authenticated administrators to read arbitrary files from the server filesystem by manipulating file paths in certain operations. This improper limitation of pathname to restricted directory enables unauthorized file system access.

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 Doris versionRun 'select version();' in the MySQL client connected to Doris, or check the fe.log file for the version stringAffected if The version shown is between 2.1.0 and 2.1.7, or between 3.0.0 and 3.0.2
-
Confirm file operation feature is accessibleCheck if the web UI (port 8030) or MySQL protocol port (9030) administrative interface is reachable and operationalAffected if Administrative interface is exposed and accessible to the evaluator
-
Verify administrative user existsCheck for admin-role users in Doris via 'SHOW GRANTS;' query or through user configuration filesAffected if There exists at least one user with administrative privileges who could trigger the vulnerable file operation
-
Check if file export/load operations are permittedReview Doris configuration (fe.conf) for OUTFILE or file-related export/load permissions, or check if the file_broker feature is loadedAffected if File export, load through broker, or similar file-path-involving operations are enabled for administrative users
You are affected if your Apache Doris version falls within 2.1.0-2.1.7 or 3.0.0-3.0.2 AND administrative users with file operation capabilities can access the system.
Generated from the published advisory. Verify against your own configuration.
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 · scoped2.1.83.0.3
Upgrade Apache Doris to version 2.1.8, 3.0.3, or later to remediate this vulnerability. Restrict administrative access to trusted personnel as an interim control.
2.1.8 for 2.1.x branches; 3.0.3 for 3.0.x branches
- 1. Backup all Doris data and configuration files before upgrading
- 2. Determine your current Doris version using: `select version();`
- 3. If running version 2.1.x (between 2.1.0 and 2.1.7), plan upgrade to version 2.1.8
- 4. If running version 3.0.x (between 3.0.0 and 3.0.2), plan upgrade to version 3.0.3
- 5. Review the official Apache Doris upgrade documentation at https://doris.apache.org/docs/admin-manual/cluster-management/upgrade/
- 6. Follow the standard rolling upgrade procedure for your deployment method (manual or FE/BE rolling upgrade)
- 7. After upgrade, verify the fix by confirming the new version: `select version();` returns 2.1.8 or 3.0.3
- 8. Test that the path traversal vulnerability is no longer exploitable
