CVE-2023-46226Network attack vector

Unauthenticated remote code execution

Published Jan 15, 2024 · Updated Jun 20, 2025

Code injection in Apache IoTDB 1.0.0 through 1.2.2 allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary code through the UDF subsystem. The published advisory identifies UDF processing as the route but does not disclose the responsible function or how input reaches generated code. No authentication or user interaction is required, and successful exploitation grants control of the IoTDB server process.
