CVE-2026-71898
Apache DolphinScheduler: Improper Authorization Allows Project Read-Only Users to Execute Workflows and Tamper with Workflow Definitions
An incorrect authorization check in Apache DolphinScheduler allows an authenticated user with only read permission for a project to modify a workflow instance in that project through the PUT /projects/{projectCode}/workflow-instances/{id} endpoint. The endpoint does not enforce the write permission required for this operation, allowing the user to make unauthorized changes to workflow instances.
This issue affects Apache DolphinScheduler: before 3.4.3.
Users are recommended to upgrade to version 3.4.3, which fixes the issue.
