CVE-2025-62188
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 · uneditedAn Exposure of Sensitive Information to an Unauthorized Actor vulnerability exists in Apache DolphinScheduler. This vulnerability may allow unauthorized actors to access sensitive information, including database credentials. This issue affects Apache DolphinScheduler versions 3.1.*. Users are recommended to upgrade to: * version ≥ 3.2.0 if using 3.1.x As a temporary workaround, users who cannot upgrade immediately may restrict the exposed management endpoints by setting the following environment variable: ``` MANAGEMENT_ENDPOINTS_WEB_EXPOSURE_INCLUDE=health,metrics,prometheus ``` Alternatively, add the following configuration to the application.yaml file: ``` management: endpoints: web: exposure: include: health,metrics,prometheus ``` This issue has been reported as CVE-2023-48796: https://cveprocess.apache.org/cve5/CVE-2023-48796
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 confidenceApache DolphinScheduler 3.1.x exposes management endpoints that allow unauthorized actors to access sensitive information, including database credentials. This is a sensitive information exposure vulnerability where the Spring Boot management endpoints are overly exposed without proper access controls.

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.
-
Check installed DolphinScheduler versionRun 'dolphinscheduler-version.sh' or inspect the version file in the DolphinScheduler installation directory, or query the API endpoint /actuator/info if accessibleAffected if Version is 3.1.x (>= 3.1.0 and < 3.2.0)
-
Verify management endpoints are accessibleAttempt to access common Spring Boot actuator endpoints such as /actuator/env, /actuator/configprops, /actuator/heapdump, or /actuator/beans via HTTP request to the DolphinScheduler hostAffected if Any of these endpoints return HTTP 200 with sensitive configuration or environment data without authentication
-
Check current endpoint exposure configurationInspect the DolphinScheduler configuration files (application.yaml or application.properties) or environment variables for MANAGEMENT_ENDPOINTS_WEB_EXPOSURE_INCLUDE or MANAGEMENT_ENDPOINTS_WEB_EXPOSURE_EXCLUDE settingsAffected if The configuration either does not exist or includes wildcard '*' or sensitive endpoints like env, configprops, dump, heapdump are not explicitly excluded
-
Confirm database credentials are exposedAccess /actuator/env endpoint and search for properties containing 'spring.datasource' or 'DATASOURCE' keywords in the responseAffected if Database usernames, passwords, or connection strings are visible in plain text in the actuator endpoint response
You are affected if running DolphinScheduler 3.1.0 through 3.1.x AND management actuator endpoints are accessible without authentication, exposing sensitive environment or configuration data.

dbcve · scoped3.2.0
Upgrade to version 3.2.0 or later, or restrict management endpoints by setting MANAGEMENT_ENDPOINTS_WEB_EXPOSURE_INCLUDE=health,metrics,prometheus in environment or configuration.
3.2.0 or later
- 1. Review the DolphinScheduler 3.2.0 release notes and migration guide for any breaking changes
- 2. Create a full backup of your current DolphinScheduler database and configuration files
- 3. Stop all DolphinScheduler services (API server, master, worker, alert)
- 4. Upgrade DolphinScheduler to version 3.2.0 or later by updating your deployment artifacts (Docker images, Helm charts, or installation packages)
- 5. Run any database migration scripts if required by the 3.2.0 release
- 6. Start the upgraded DolphinScheduler services
- 7. Verify the vulnerability is resolved by confirming management endpoints no longer expose sensitive information
- 8. Test that normal DolphinScheduler functionality (workflow execution, alerts, etc.) works as expected
