Security readout for executives and security teams
Plain-English summary
Apache InLong versions 2.0.0 through 2.3.x contain a critical SQL injection vulnerability. An unauthenticated remote attacker could manipulate database queries through several input parameters, potentially exposing, altering, or deleting data and disrupting service availability.
Executive priority
Prioritize immediate identification and remediation of affected systems, especially internet-facing or business-critical deployments. The potential impact spans data theft, unauthorized modification, and outage. Lack of confirmed exploitation should not delay action because the reported attack requires no authentication and has low complexity.
Technical view
CVE-2026-63038 is CWE-89 SQL injection caused by improper handling of dbName, tableName, schemaName, and username values. It affects Apache InLong from 2.0.0 before 2.4.0. CVSS 3.1 is 9.8: network-accessible, low complexity, no privileges or user interaction, with high confidentiality, integrity, and availability impact.
Likely exposure
Exposure exists wherever affected Apache InLong versions accept attacker-controlled values for the named parameters. Risk is greatest when relevant interfaces are reachable from untrusted networks. The supplied sources do not identify specific deployments, configurations, endpoints, or prerequisites beyond the affected version range.
Exploitation context
The CVSS vector indicates potential unauthenticated remote exploitation without user interaction. However, this CVE is not in the supplied KEV data, and the source bundle provides no evidence of active exploitation or a public exploit. Treat the vulnerability as highly exploitable in principle, not confirmed exploited in the wild.
Researcher notes
The bundle identifies vulnerable parameter names but does not describe endpoints, query construction sites, database engines, detection indicators, or observed exploitation. The authoritative description defines the affected range as 2.0.0 before 2.4.0; the structured affected entry lists only 2.0.0, so range assessment relies on the narrative vendor record.
Mitigation direction
- Upgrade Apache InLong to version 2.4.0 or later.
- If upgrading is delayed, evaluate the vendor-referenced cherry-pick for issue 12135.
- Restrict affected InLong interfaces from untrusted networks until remediation is complete.
- Follow Apache guidance for any additional configuration or remediation requirements.
Validation and detection
- Inventory Apache InLong deployments and record their exact installed versions.
- Flag every deployment running version 2.0.0 through 2.3.x.
- Confirm whether interfaces processing the named parameters are externally or broadly reachable.
- After remediation, verify version 2.4.0 or the referenced corrective change is present.
- Review database and application logs for suspicious queries or abnormal activity.

Improper Neutralization of Special Elements used in an SQL Command
Improper Neutralization of Special Elements used in an SQL Command represents a recurring weakness pattern that can create exploitable paths when design, validation, or implementation controls are missing.
