# CVE-2023-49109: Remote Code Execution in Apache Dolphinscheduler

**Signal:** Critical and remotely reachable. No known exploitation yet, but it is network-reachable without credentials. (Computed from CISA KEV, EPSS and CVSS; not an editorial verdict.)

## Should you act?

- No confirmed exploitation. It is not in CISA’s KEV catalog and CISA’s SSVC assessment records no known exploitation. That can change quickly after a public write-up; re-check if you are affected.
- EPSS 2.3% , percentile 83: FIRST’s model estimates a 2.3% chance of exploitation activity in the next 30 days, higher than 83% of all scored CVEs (elevated). EPSS is a probability, not a verdict.
- Remotely reachable with no login and no user interaction. If the vulnerable service is exposed to the internet, prioritize it.
- Only applies if your dependency tree includes org.apache.dolphinscheduler:dolphinscheduler (Maven) >= 3.0.0, < 3.2.1, fixed in 3.2.1 . Check your lockfile, including transitive dependencies.
