CVE-2026-24343Network attack vector

Monitoring interruption via crafted XPath expressions

Published Feb 10, 2026 · Updated Feb 10, 2026

XPath injection in Apache HertzBeat 1.7.1 through 1.7.3 allows remote authenticated users to interrupt monitoring via crafted expressions. The affected hertzbeat-collector package executes crafted XPath syntax without neutralizing expression operators, but Apache has not disclosed the affected function. A valid low-privilege account and network reachability are required; successful exploitation consumes collector resources and interrupts monitoring.
