Attack profile from CVSS 3.1 · CISA ADP. Fix status from CNA. Impact type from CWE-400.
Summary
Apache IoTDB JDBC driver versions from 1.3.3 before 2.0.11 are affected by CWE-400 (Uncontrolled Resource Consumption). The BigDecimal toPlainString handling in the driver can be abused to exhaust memory on a large scale, with a CVSS 3.1 base score of 7.5 (HIGH). The CVSS vector is AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:N/I:N/A:H, so an unauthenticated remote attacker can cause availability loss without confidentiality or integrity impact. CISA SSVC marks the issue as automatable with partial technical impact, and it is not listed in CISA KEV.
