CVE-2026-63016Network attack vector

Authenticated config changes via missing admin checks

Published Aug 20, 2026 · Updated Aug 20, 2026

Missing authorization in Apache InLong before 2.4.0 allows remote authenticated users to create or alter packages through Manager APIs. In manager-web, PackageController and ModuleController exposed save, update, and delete handlers without the INLONG_ADMIN role check that the fix added with @RequiresRoles(INLONG_ADMIN). Reachability requires a valid Manager account, and the published impact is unauthorized package upload and operational configuration changes rather than demonstrated code execution or data theft from this flaw alone.
