CVE-2026-62350
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 · uneditedTDengine is an open source, time-series database optimized for Internet of Things devices. Prior to 3.4.1.15, a user with create udf privilege could upload a crafted shared library and install it as a user-defined function, such as eval, then execute arbitrary C code on the TDengine server side through database queries. This issue is fixed in version 3.4.1.15.
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 confidenceTDengine versions prior to 3.4.1.15 allow authenticated users with 'create udf' privilege to upload malicious shared libraries and install them as User Defined Functions, enabling arbitrary C code execution on the server through 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.
-
Determine installed TDengine versionUse the TDengine CLI (taos) or check version via 'taos --version' or 'select server_version()' queryAffected if The installed version is prior to 3.4.1.15 (e.g., 3.4.0.x, 3.3.x, etc.)
-
Identify users with 'create udf' privilegeQuery the TDengine user privileges system catalog or permission tables; look for grants of the 'create udf' or UDF creation permissionAffected if Any non-administrative or untrusted user account holds the 'create udf' privilege
-
List installed User Defined FunctionsQuery the UDF registry via TDengine system tables (e.g., information_schema.USER_DEFINED_FUNCTIONS or equivalent) or use 'SHOW UDFS' command if availableAffected if Any UDFs are installed on the system, especially those from untrusted sources
-
Verify UDF shared library filesLocate UDF library storage directory in TDengine configuration and inspect any .so or .dll files for unexpected or suspicious entriesAffected if Unknown or suspiciously named shared library files exist in the UDF directory
You are affected if TDengine version is prior to 3.4.1.15 AND any user possesses the 'create udf' privilege, regardless of whether malicious UDFs are currently installed.
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 · scopedUpgrade TDengine to version 3.4.1.15 or later. Review and audit existing UDFs for suspicious code, and restrict the 'create udf' privilege to trusted administrative users only.
TDengine version 3.4.1.15 or later
- 1. Identify the current TDengine version running in your environment using 'taos -v' or checking the installation directory.
- 2. Download TDengine version 3.4.1.15 or later from the official GitHub releases page (github.com/taosdata/TDengine).
- 3. Before upgrading, backup all databases and configurations to prevent data loss.
- 4. Stop the TDengine service using 'systemctl stop taosd' or 'sc stop taosd' depending on your OS.
- 5. Upgrade TDengine to version 3.4.1.15 following the official upgrade guide for your installation method (package manager, Docker, or source compilation).
- 6. Restart the TDengine service using 'systemctl start taosd' or 'sc start taosd'.
- 7. Verify the upgrade was successful by running 'taos -v' and confirming the version shows 3.4.1.15 or later.
- 8. Review user privileges to ensure only trusted administrators have 'create udf' privilege moving forward.
