CVE-2023-31062

Apache InLong Improper Privilege Management vulnerability

Improper Privilege Management Vulnerabilities in Apache Software Foundation Apache InLong.This issue affects Apache InLong: from 1.2.0 through 1.6.0.  When the attacker has access to a valid (but unprivileged) account, the exploit can be executed using Burp Suite by sending a login request and following it with a subsequent HTTP request using the returned cookie.

Users are advised to upgrade to Apache InLong's 1.7.0 or cherry-pick https://github.com/apache/inlong/pull/7836 to solve it.

The application assigns, modifies, tracks, or checks privileges incorrectly, allowing a user to gain elevated access. Typical impact: privilege escalation beyond the intended level.

CVE-2023-31062 has a CVSS score of 9.8 (Critical). The vector is network-reachable, no privileges required, and no user interaction. A CVSS score reflects the worst-case severity of the vulnerability, not your specific exposure. Whether this affects your application depends on whether the vulnerable code is present and reachable in your environment. A fixed version is available (1.7.0); upgrading removes the vulnerable code path.

It is fixed in 1.7.0. The application assigns, modifies, tracks, or checks privileges incorrectly, allowing a user to gain elevated access.
2. How severe is CVE-2023-31062? CVE-2023-31062 has a CVSS score of 9.8 (Critical). This score reflects the worst-case severity of the vulnerability, not your specific exposure. Whether it represents real risk in your environment depends on whether the vulnerable code is present and reachable.
3. Which packages are affected by CVE-2023-31062?
   • org.apache.inlong:manager-pojo (maven) (versions >= 1.2.0, < 1.7.0)
   • org.apache.inlong:manager-dao (maven) (versions >= 1.2.0, < 1.7.0)
   • org.apache.inlong:manager-service (maven) (versions >= 1.2.0, < 1.7.0)
   • org.apache.inlong:manager-web (maven) (versions >= 1.2.0, < 1.7.0)
4. Is there a fix for CVE-2023-31062? Yes. CVE-2023-31062 is fixed in 1.7.0. Upgrade to this version or later.
5. Is CVE-2023-31062 exploitable, and should I be worried? Whether CVE-2023-31062 is exploitable in your environment depends on whether the vulnerable code is present and reachable. A CVSS score is a worst-case rating; it does not account for your specific deployment, configuration, or usage patterns. Kodem, an Intelligent Application Security platform, uses runtime intelligence to show which vulnerabilities actually execute in production, so you can focus on the ones that represent real risk.

6. What actually determines whether CVE-2023-31062 is exploitable, and how bad it is? Exploitability and impact are not fixed properties of a CVE. They depend on runtime truth: whether the vulnerable code is present, reachable, and actually executes in your application. A high CVSS score on a dependency that never runs is not the same as real risk. Kodem, an Intelligent Application Security platform, uses runtime intelligence to reveal which vulnerabilities actually execute in production, so teams prioritize the ones that genuinely matter.
7. How do I fix CVE-2023-31062?
   • Upgrade org.apache.inlong:manager-pojo to 1.7.0 or later
   • Upgrade org.apache.inlong:manager-dao to 1.7.0 or later
   • Upgrade org.apache.inlong:manager-service to 1.7.0 or later
   • Upgrade org.apache.inlong:manager-web to 1.7.0 or later
