CVE-2026-47340
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 · uneditedAllow authenticated users to access alert instances associated with alert groups they do not have permission to access. in Apache DolphinScheduler. This issue affects Apache DolphinScheduler: before 3.4.2. Users are recommended to upgrade to version 3.4.2, 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 confidenceThis is an broken access control vulnerability in Apache DolphinScheduler where authenticated users can access alert instances belonging to alert groups they do not have permission to view. The application fails to properly validate user permissions before returning alert instance data, allowing privilege escalation through unauthorized access to sensitive alert configurations.

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 DolphinScheduler versionLocate the version file or check through the admin UI. Common locations: check the about/page in the UI, or look for a version file in the installation directory. Alternatively, check the startup logs which typically display the version on boot.Affected if The installed version is any version prior to 3.4.2 (e.g., 3.4.1, 3.4.0, 3.3.x, 3.2.x, earlier releases).
-
Confirm alert groups are configuredNavigate to the Alert Groups management section in the DolphinScheduler UI or check the alert_group table in the database if direct database access is available. Verify that alert groups exist in the system.Affected if Alert groups are defined and active in the installation.
-
Review user permissions on alert groupsAccess the Resources > Alert Group Permissions section or the User Management area. Examine which users are assigned to which alert groups. Look for users who have general system access (are authenticated) but are not explicitly granted permissions to specific alert groups.Affected if There are authenticated users in the system who do not have explicit permission grants to all existing alert groups.
-
Test cross-group alert instance accessUsing a user account that has system login access but limited or no alert group permissions, attempt to query or view alert instances through API endpoints or UI. Check if alert instances from groups the user is not assigned to are returned in any API responses or displayed in any views.Affected if Alert instance data from groups the test user is not permissions for is returned or accessible.
You are affected if running Apache DolphinScheduler version below 3.4.2 AND alert groups exist in the system where some authenticated users can access alert instances from groups they have not been granted permission to view.

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 · scoped3.4.2
Upgrade to Apache DolphinScheduler version 3.4.2 which contains the authorization fix for this vulnerability.
3.4.2
- 1. Back up your current DolphinScheduler installation including database and configuration files
- 2. Download Apache DolphinScheduler version 3.4.2 from the official Apache distribution repository
- 3. Review the official upgrade documentation for your specific deployment method (Kubernetes, Docker, or standalone)
- 4. Execute the upgrade procedure following the documented steps for your installation type
- 5. Verify that the upgrade completed successfully by checking the version number in the UI or via CLI
- 6. Test that alert group permissions are now properly enforced - users should only see alert instances for groups they have permission to access
