Summary
Apache DolphinScheduler before 3.4.3 fails to enforce authorization checks on the /dolphinscheduler/users/list-all endpoint. An authenticated user with low privileges can retrieve other users' account information without the required permissions.

Description from the CNA
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.
