CVE-2025-53648
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 · uneditedSQL misconfiguration in the Gravitino UI, in versions 1.0.0 and below, can allow a malicious user to read or truncate files. Users are recommended to upgrade to version 1.0.0, which fixes this 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 confidenceSQL misconfiguration in Gravitino UI allows authenticated or low-privilege users to perform file read and truncate operations via SQL, likely through improper handling of SQL file operations like LOAD_FILE or INTO OUTFILE in the application's database queries.

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 Gravitino installation and versionLocate the Gravitino installation directory and check the version file or run 'gravitino --version' or check the pom.xml/build.gradle if source deployment. Common paths: /opt/gravitino, /usr/local/gravitino, or the service startup script often contains version info.Affected if The installed version is 0.5.0 or any version >= 0.5.0 but less than 1.0.0
-
Verify Gravitino UI is accessibleCheck if the Gravitino web UI port is open and responding. Default port is 8090. Use 'curl http://localhost:8090' or check network listeners with 'netstat -tlnp | grep 8090' or 'ss -tlnp | grep 8090'.Affected if The UI is accessible over network and the version is in the affected range
-
Confirm database user privilegesExamine the database configuration file (typically in conf/ or config/ directory, look for database connection properties in application.properties or similar). Check the database user configured for Gravitino and verify if it has elevated privileges beyond standard SELECT/INSERT/UPDATE/DELETE.Affected if The configured database user has privileges beyond basic DML operations, or the database configuration file shows overly permissive settings
-
Check for SQL file operation capabilityReview database logs or audit records for recent usage of LOAD_FILE, INTO OUTFILE, or similar SQL commands that interact with the filesystem. If you have database access, test (in a non-production manner) whether the Gravitino database user can execute: SHOW VARIABLES LIKE 'secure_file_priv'; and verify if it is empty or points to a writable directory.Affected if The database user has FILE privilege or secure_file_priv is empty/unrestricted, allowing file system operations
You are affected if Gravitino version is 0.5.0 or higher but below 1.0.0 AND the UI is accessible AND the database user has elevated privileges or file operation capabilities.

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 · scoped1.0.0
Upgrade Gravitino to version 1.0.0 which contains the fix for this SQL misconfiguration.
Gravitino 1.0.0
- 1. Backup your current Gravitino configuration and data.
- 2. Review the Gravitino 1.0.0 release notes for any migration requirements.
- 3. Upgrade your Gravitino installation from version 0.5.0 or later to version 1.0.0.
- 4. After upgrade, verify that the SQL misconfiguration has been addressed by testing file read/truncation operations through the UI.
- 5. Confirm normal functionality of all Gravitino services after the upgrade.
