CVE-2026-71896 — Apache DolphinScheduler: Missing Authorization Checks Allow Unauthorized Disclosure of User Account Information

An authorization vulnerability in Apache DolphinScheduler allows authenticated users to retrieve other users' account information through the /dolphinscheduler/users/list-all endpoint without the required permissions. The endpoint fails to enforce the necessary authorization checks before returning user account information. As a result, an authenticated user can access account information they are not authorized to view. Successful exploitation may expose sensitive user information and facilitate account enumeration. This issue affects Apache DolphinScheduler: before 3.4.3. Users are recommended to upgrade to version 3.4.3, which fixes the issue.

Who exploits it and how urgent it is

A 0–100 score combining confirmed exploitation, ransomware and APT use, public exploits, EPSS and severity.

No exploitation signal in the sources consulted so far.
How the score was calculated
  • EPSS 0.3% (30-day exploitation probability)+2
  • Technical severity (medium)+3

The score orders the patch queue; it does not replace your asset context (internet exposure, criticality, compensating controls).

Triage

Is it exploited, how likely is exploitation, what does it touch, and how severe do the sources call it.

Remediation

Fixes and mitigations documented by the sources — linked to the original advisory.

No fix documented by the sources we poll. That does not mean none exists: check the vendor advisory.

First 24 hours

Ordered from the record’s own fields — exposure first, because you cannot patch what you have not found. A rule-generated starting point.

  1. Identify exposed assets running the affected vendor/product/version combinations (Apache Software Foundation Dolphinscheduler).
  2. No fix documented in the sources: reduce exposure and monitor the vendor advisory.
  3. Search available logs for exploit probes matching the vulnerability class (access control), errors and authentication anomalies.

What should defenders know first?

CVE-2026-71896 is "Apache DolphinScheduler: Missing Authorization Checks Allow Unauthorized Disclosure of User Account Information", rated Medium. It affects Dolphinscheduler (Apache Software Foundation); versions are in the scope table. It is not in CISA KEV, which does not rule out exploitation. CVSS 6.5 describes technical severity. EPSS 0.26% estimates the probability of exploitation in 30 days; neither replaces your asset context. First verify whether exposed or business-critical assets run the affected versions, apply vendor fixes or mitigations, and preserve logs for review.
