# CVE-2024-36265: Apache Submarine Server Core Incorrect Authorization vulnerability

**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 0.7% , percentile 54: FIRST’s model estimates a 0.7% chance of exploitation activity in the next 30 days, higher than 54% of all scored CVEs (moderate). 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.submarine:submarine-server-core (Maven) = 0.8.0, no fixed version listed ; apache-submarine (PyPI) = 0.8.0, no fixed version listed . Check your lockfile, including transitive dependencies.

## What it is

UNSUPPORTED WHEN ASSIGNED Incorrect Authorization vulnerability in Apache Submarine Server Core. This issue affects Apache Submarine Server Core: from 0.8.0. An attacker can bypass authentication by sending specially crafted REST requests. As this project is retired, we do not plan to release a version that fixes this issue. Users are recommended to find an alternative or restrict access to the instance to trusted users. NOTE: This vulnerability only affects products that are no longer supported by the maintainer.

## Affected packages

- Maven `org.apache.submarine:submarine-server-core` = 0.8.0 → fixed: none listed
- PyPI `apache-submarine` = 0.8.0 → fixed: none listed

## Affected products (CVE record)

- Apache Software Foundation Apache Submarine Server Core: 0.8.0 <= *

## Severity

- CISA-ADP CVSS 3.1: 9.8 `CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:H/A:H`
- GitHub CVSS 3.1: 9.1 `CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:H/A:N`

## Exploitation

- CISA KEV: not listed (no confirmed in-the-wild exploitation known to CISA).
- CISA SSVC assessment: exploitation none , automatable no , technical impact partial .
- FIRST EPSS (model of 2026-10-21): 0.74% probability of exploitation activity in the next 30 days; percentile 54.
