CVE-2022-36640:
InfluxDB vulnerability analysis and mitigation
Overview
InfluxDB before v1.8.10 contains no authentication mechanism or controls, allowing unauthenticated attackers to execute arbitrary commands (NVD, Debian Tracker).
Technical details
The vulnerability exists in versions of InfluxDB prior to v1.8.10 where the authentication mechanism is missing, effectively leaving the database exposed without any access controls (NVD).
Impact
Due to the lack of authentication controls, unauthorized attackers can gain complete access to the database and execute arbitrary commands, potentially compromising the entire database system and its data (NVD).
Mitigation and workarounds
The recommended mitigation is to upgrade InfluxDB to version 1.8.10 or later which includes proper authentication controls (NVD).
