Incorrect Authorization in Apache DolphinScheduler tenant handling

IdentifiersCVE-2026-23902CWE-863· Incorrect Authorization

CVE-2026-23902 is an incorrect authorization flaw in Apache DolphinScheduler affecting versions prior to 3.4.1. The vulnerability allows an authenticated user who has system login permissions to use tenants that are not defined on the platform during workflow execution. In practice, authorization checks around tenant usage during workflow execution are insufficient, permitting a logged-in user with low privileges to operate with unauthorized or undefined tenant context.

ANALYST BRIEF

Impact, mitigation & remediation

What it means. What to do now. Patch path, mitigations, and the assume-compromise checklist.

Impact

What an attacker gets, and what they’ve been doing with it.

Successful exploitation allows an authenticated attacker with system login permissions to bypass intended tenant authorization boundaries during workflow execution. This can expose workflow execution to unauthorized tenant context, with resulting confidentiality and integrity impact assessed as high. Based on the provided CVSS vector, the issue does not have a direct availability impact.

Mitigation

If you can’t patch tonight, do this now.

If immediate upgrade is not possible, restrict access to DolphinScheduler accounts with system login permissions to only trusted users, review and limit who can execute workflows, and monitor for workflow executions referencing unexpected or undefined tenants. These are interim risk-reduction measures; the provided content identifies upgrading to 3.4.1 as the definitive fix.

Remediation

Patch, then assume compromise.

Upgrade Apache DolphinScheduler to version 3.4.1 or later. Apache states that version 3.4.1 fixes this vulnerability.
