CVE-2023-29216

CWE-502Published: April 10, 2023· Updated: Jun 17, 2026

9.8

CVSS v3.1

Official Description

In Apache Linkis <=1.3.1, because the parameters are not

effectively filtered, the attacker uses the MySQL data source and malicious parameters to

configure a new data source to trigger a deserialization vulnerability, eventually leading to

remote code execution.

Versions of Apache Linkis <= 1.3.0 will be affected.

We recommend users upgrade the version of Linkis to version 1.3.2.

Risk Analysis

Apache Linkis contains a critical deserialization vulnerability that can lead to remote code execution when configuring a new data source. The 9.8 CVSS score reflects the high risk posed by this flaw.

No public exploit is known for this vulnerability, and it is not in the CISA KEV catalog. The flaw is remotely exploitable with low complexity.

Recommended Action

Users should upgrade to Apache Linkis version 1.3.2 to address the parameter filtering issues.

Generated by the CTIWATCH analysis pipeline from this CVE's metadata (CVSS, EPSS, KEV status, exploit intelligence). Verify against vendor advisories before acting.

Technical Analysis

CVE-2023-29216 can be exploited remotely over the network without requiring physical or adjacent access, significantly expanding the attack surface for threat actors.

The vulnerability requires no privileges and no user interaction, making it a prime target for automated exploitation campaigns and worm-like propagation.

A successful exploit results in complete confidentiality breach (data exposure), full integrity compromise (data manipulation), availability disruption (denial of service), with a CVSS base score of 9.8.

From a weakness classification perspective (CWE-502): Insecure deserialization vulnerabilities allow attackers to inject malicious objects during deserialization, potentially enabling remote code execution.
