# CVE-2024-27348: Apache HugeGraph-Server Improper Access Control Vulnerability

**Signal:** Exploited: patch now if you run it. CISA has confirmed exploitation in the wild. (Computed from CISA KEV, EPSS and CVSS; not an editorial verdict.)

## Should you act?

- Yes, if you run Apache HugeGraph-Server. CISA added this CVE to its Known Exploited Vulnerabilities catalog on 2024-09-18, which means there is reliable evidence of exploitation in the wild. US federal agencies must remediate by 2024-10-09 ; treat that as the outer limit, not the target.
- EPSS 99.2% , percentile 99.9: FIRST’s model estimates a 99.2% chance of exploitation activity in the next 30 days, higher than 99.9% of all scored CVEs (very high). 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.hugegraph:hugegraph-api (Maven) >= 1.0.0, < 1.3.0, fixed in 1.3.0 ; org.apache.hugegraph:hugegraph-core (Maven) >= 1.0.0, < 1.3.0, fixed in 1.3.0 . Check your lockfile, including transitive dependencies.

## What it is

RCE-Remote Command Execution vulnerability in Apache HugeGraph-Server.This issue affects Apache HugeGraph-Server: from 1.0.0 before 1.3.0 in Java8 & Java11 Users are recommended to upgrade to version 1.3.0 with Java11 & enable the Auth system, which fixes the issue.

## Affected packages

- Maven `org.apache.hugegraph:hugegraph-api` >= 1.0.0, < 1.3.0 → fixed: 1.3.0
- Maven `org.apache.hugegraph:hugegraph-core` >= 1.0.0, < 1.3.0 → fixed: 1.3.0

## Affected products (CVE record)
