CVE-2024-43202 is a critical-severity Code Injection (CWE-94) vulnerability in Apache Dolphinscheduler. Its CVSS base score is 9.8 (Critical).

Operationally, ranked in the top 7.9% of CVEs by exploit likelihood; it is not currently listed in the CISA KEV catalog.

Deeper analysis

CVE-2024-43202 is a remote code execution vulnerability, tracked as CWE-94, that affects Apache DolphinScheduler versions prior to 3.2.2. The flaw permits unauthenticated attackers to inject and execute arbitrary code on the server, resulting in a CVSS 3.1 base score of 9.8 with full impact on confidentiality, integrity, and availability.

An attacker with network access can exploit the issue without credentials or user interaction to run arbitrary commands on the DolphinScheduler instance, potentially leading to complete system compromise.

Apache advisories direct users to upgrade immediately to version 3.2.2, which contains the fix; the resolution is referenced in the project’s GitHub pull request 15758 and in security notices distributed via the Apache mailing lists.

The associated EPSS score remains flat at 0.0766 with no material increase observed after disclosure.
