SQL execution via unauthenticated cache APIs
Published Oct 16, 2026 · Updated Oct 16, 2026
SQL injection in Apache Kylin 5.0.0 through 5.0.4 allows remote attackers to execute SQL through backend cache APIs. Those APIs omit authentication and accept input that leads to injected SQL execution; the public notice does not identify endpoint paths or the SQL construction code. Exploitation requires network access to the affected APIs, with public-facing deployments especially exposed; specific data access and modification capabilities are not disclosed.

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.
