Remote DataNode exposure via unrestricted default binding
Published Mar 9, 2026 · Updated Mar 9, 2026
Unrestricted network binding in Apache IoTDB 1.0.0 through 1.3.6 and 2.0.0 through 2.0.6 exposes DataNode RPC to remote attackers. The DataNode configuration and IoTDBConfig class default dn_rpc_address to 0.0.0.0, causing the Thrift service on TCP 6667 to listen on every interface. Reachability from an untrusted network is required; Apache has not disclosed which unauthenticated RPC operation produces the assessed impact.

Exploitability
Present is not the same as exploitable
Compare your product and version with the public record. A matching version still requires validation against your environment.
Is a vulnerable build present?
Compare these published version ranges with your installed build and any vendor patches.
- Affected versionversion=1.0.0 <1.3.7
- Affected versionversion=2.0.0 <2.0.7
