CVE-2025-62233
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 · uneditedDeserialization of Untrusted Data vulnerability in Apache DolphinScheduler RPC module. This issue affects Apache DolphinScheduler: Version >= 3.2.0 and < 3.3.1. Attackers who can access the Master or Worker nodes can compromise the system by creating a StandardRpcRequest, injecting a malicious class type into it, and sending RPC requests to the DolphinScheduler Master/Worker nodes. Users are recommended to upgrade to version [3.3.1], 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 · high confidenceDeserialization of Untrusted Data vulnerability in Apache DolphinScheduler's RPC module allows attackers with access to Master or Worker nodes to inject malicious class types into StandardRpcRequest objects, potentially achieving arbitrary code execution during deserialization.

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 installed DolphinScheduler versionRun 'dsctl version' or check the version file in the DolphinScheduler installation directory, or inspect the UI footer for the version numberAffected if Version is 3.2.0 through 3.3.0 (anything >= 3.2.0 but < 3.3.1)
-
Confirm Master or Worker services are runningCheck running processes for Master or Worker roles, or review the deployed cluster topology configurationAffected if Master or Worker nodes are deployed and running
-
Verify RPC port exposureCheck network configuration or firewall rules for RPC ports (default 5678 for Master, 1234 for Worker) and determine if they accept external connectionsAffected if RPC ports are accessible from untrusted networks or non-admin users
-
Inspect RPC module configurationReview the dolphinscheduler-rpc module configuration in the deployment config files or check if the RPC endpoint is enabled in the Master/Worker configurationAffected if RPC module is enabled and StandardRpcRequest handling is active
You are affected if your DolphinScheduler version is 3.2.0 to 3.3.0, you have Master or Worker nodes running, and those RPC ports are accessible to attackers.
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 · scoped3.3.1
Upgrade Apache DolphinScheduler to version 3.3.1 or later. Until then, restrict network access to Master/Worker RPC ports to limit exposure.
3.3.1
- Back up current DolphinScheduler data and configuration files
- Stop all DolphinScheduler services (Master and Worker nodes)
- Download Apache DolphinScheduler version 3.3.1 from the official Apache repository
- Install or upgrade to version 3.3.1 on all Master and Worker nodes
- Verify configuration files are intact after upgrade
- Start DolphinScheduler services in the correct order (Master first, then Worker)
- Verify the installation by checking service status and logs
