Synthesised by an AI model from the NVD description and linked references — a reading aid, not an authoritative source.
CVE-2026-24713 is an Improper Input Validation vulnerability (CWE-20, CWE-917) in Apache IoTDB, an open-source IoT database for time-series data management. The flaw affects Apache IoTDB versions from 1.0.0 up to but not including 1.3.7, and from 2.0.0 up to but not including 2.0.7. Published on March 9, 2026, it carries a CVSS v3.1 base score of 9.8, indicating critical severity due to its network accessibility, low attack complexity, lack of required privileges or user interaction, and high impacts on confidentiality, integrity, and availability.
A remote attacker with network access to an affected Apache IoTDB instance can exploit this vulnerability without authentication or user interaction. Successful exploitation allows the attacker to achieve high-impact effects, including unauthorized access to sensitive data, modification of database contents, and disruption of service availability.
Apache advisories recommend upgrading to Apache IoTDB version 1.3.7 or 2.0.7, which remediate the vulnerability. Additional details are available in the official Apache announcement at https://lists.apache.org/thread/vopgv6y2ccw403b0zv7rvojjrh7x1j5p and the OSS-Security mailing list at http://www.openwall.com/lists/oss-security/2026/03/09/4.

Mitigating Controls (NIST 800-53 r5) AI
Developer testing and evaluation can discover missing input validation through analysis or test cases.
SI-10 directly requires validity checks on information inputs, structurally preventing improper or missing validation.
Requiring documented development standards and tools can embed input-validation practices into the engineering process.
Security engineering principles include requirements for safe construction and sanitization of dynamic statements, structurally preventing expression-language injection at design time.

Testing against a defined set of requirements and using code review plus vulnerability scanning forces validation of inputs and handling of unanticipated conditions, reducing the chance that malformed data will be accepted.
Secure-coding guidelines and mandatory security testing (including code scans) compel developers to validate and sanitize inputs at design and implementation time, lowering the incidence of malformed or malicious data reaching downstream components.
Mandating input controls that include integrity checks and input validation ensures that untrusted data is examined before use, blocking the root cause of many injection and malformed-data weaknesses.
Security-by-design principles explicitly call for data validation and sanitization at every layer, reducing the chance that malformed or malicious input will be processed without scrutiny.
Requiring language-specific secure coding standards, peer review, SAST and documented mitigation of common programming errors forces validation of all inputs before they are trusted.
Regular automated validation of system software and data content, combined with scanning of all inbound files, enforces input validation at the boundary before untrusted content is processed.
