CVE-2022-45462Network attack vector

Authenticated command execution via script alert parameters

Published Nov 23, 2022 · Updated Apr 25, 2025

Command injection in Apache DolphinScheduler 2.0.5 and earlier allows remote authenticated users to execute commands through script alerts. ScriptSender concatenates alert titles, content, and user parameters into a /bin/sh -c string without rejecting embedded single quotes. Exploitation requires a logged-in account and a configured shell-script alert; injected commands run with the alert server's privileges.
