CVE-2025-66336
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 · uneditedApache Doris MCP Server contains a SQL injection vulnerability in a metadata query path. A user-controlled database name is directly interpolated into a SQL query, and the query is executed without passing the caller's authorization context. This may allow an authenticated attacker, or an anonymous attacker if authentication is disabled, to bypass SQL security validation and access metadata outside the intended database scope. Affected users are recommended to upgrade to Doris version 0.6.1 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 · high confidenceApache Doris MCP Server has a SQL injection vulnerability where user-controlled database names are directly interpolated into SQL queries without sanitization. The critical issue is that the caller's authorization context is not passed to the query execution, allowing bypass of SQL security validation and unauthorized metadata access outside the intended database scope.

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 MCP Server installationLocate the Apache Doris MCP Server installation directory or check if the service is running. Common locations include /opt/apache-doris-mcp-server, /usr/local/doris-mcp, or check running processes for doris-mcp related entries.Affected if Apache Doris MCP Server is installed and running with version < 0.6.1
-
Determine installed versionCheck the version of Apache Doris MCP Server. Common methods: (1) Check the VERSION file in the installation directory, (2) Run 'doris-mcp-server --version' or similar version command if available, (3) Check the JAR/WAR file version in the installation directory, (4) Query the service's API endpoint for version information if exposed.Affected if Installed version is 0.1.0 or higher but below 0.6.1
-
Verify metadata query feature is accessibleIdentify if the metadata query endpoint/path is accessible and functional. Check if the MCP server exposes any metadata-related endpoints, database introspection features, or schema query capabilities that accept database names as input parameters.Affected if The metadata query functionality is enabled and accessible to users or applications
-
Inspect database name handling in configurationReview configuration files for any metadata query settings. Look for configurations controlling database metadata access, query execution paths, or authorization enforcement. Check for any allowlist or security policy settings related to metadata access.Affected if Configuration shows metadata queries can be triggered without proper authorization context validation or with direct database name concatenation enabled
-
Review audit logs for suspicious metadata queriesCheck application and audit logs for metadata query patterns that might indicate exploitation. Look for queries accessing databases outside expected scope, unusual SQL patterns, or queries with database names that could indicate injection attempts.Affected if Logs show metadata queries accessing unexpected databases or containing anomalous database name patterns
You are affected if Apache Doris MCP Server version is 0.1.0 or higher but below 0.6.1 AND the metadata query functionality is accessible to users or applications.

dbcve · scoped0.6.1
Upgrade Apache Doris to version 0.6.1 or later to obtain the patch for this SQL injection vulnerability.
0.6.1
- 1. Identify the current version of Apache Doris MCP Server in use (check via --version or package manager)
- 2. Review upgrade documentation for Doris MCP Server to understand migration requirements
- 3. Plan and schedule a maintenance window for the upgrade
- 4. Create a backup of the current configuration and any persistent data
- 5. Download Apache Doris MCP Server version 0.6.1 or later from official Apache sources
- 6. Stop the currently running Doris MCP Server service
- 7. Install the upgraded version (0.6.1 or later) following standard installation procedures
- 8. Restore configuration from backup, adapting if needed for new version
