CVE-2022-24697 has a CVSS score of 9.8/10, rated CRITICAL. Immediate patching is strongly recommended.

Which packages are affected by CVE-2022-24697?

CVE-2022-24697 affects the following packages: org.apache.kylin:kylin-core-common (Maven), org.apache.kylin:kylin-spark-project (Maven), org.apache.kylin:kylin-server-base (Maven). Ecosystems affected: Maven.

How do I fix CVE-2022-24697?

Update org.apache.kylin:kylin-core-common to 4.0.2 or later, then make sure no transitive (indirect) dependency still pins the vulnerable range — O3 confirms CVE-2022-24697 is resolved across your whole dependency graph.

How do I detect CVE-2022-24697 in my Maven dependencies?

Scan your dependency tree (package-lock.json, pnpm-lock.yaml, requirements.txt, go.sum, etc.) for org.apache.kylin:kylin-core-common. O3's reachability analysis confirms whether the vulnerable code path is actually invoked in your application, so you act on real exposure instead of every transitive match.

How do I mitigate CVE-2022-24697 if there is no patch (or I can't update yet)?

If you can't upgrade right away: gate or disable the affected feature, validate untrusted input at the boundary, and avoid passing attacker-controlled data into the vulnerable path. O3's runtime protection blocks exploitation in production as an interim safeguard until the upgrade lands.

How does O3 Security protect against CVE-2022-24697?

O3 pinpoints whether CVE-2022-24697 is reachable in your code and exactly where to fix it, then blocks exploitation in production at runtime until the patched version is deployed.

Is CVE-2022-24697 actively exploited in the wild?

No public exploit code has been indexed for CVE-2022-24697 yet. This does not mean the vulnerability cannot be exploited — absence of public exploits does not imply safety. Apply the recommended fix and use O3 Security to monitor your exposure.

What is the EPSS score for CVE-2022-24697?

CVE-2022-24697 has an EPSS (Exploit Prediction Scoring System) score of 84.8%, placing it in the 100th percentile of all CVEs. EPSS is maintained by FIRST.org and estimates the probability that a vulnerability will be exploited in the wild within the next 30 days. A score above 50% indicates significantly elevated exploitation risk — immediate patching is strongly recommended.

When was CVE-2022-24697 published, and has it been updated?

CVE-2022-24697 was published on October 13, 2022 and was last updated on March 14, 2026. Advisory data evolves as severity scores, affected ranges, and exploit intelligence are revised — always check the latest version of the advisory before acting.

Description

Kylin's cube designer function has a command injection vulnerability when overwriting system parameters in the configuration overwrites menu. RCE can be implemented by closing the single quotation marks around the parameter value of “-- conf=” to inject any operating system command into the command line parameters. This vulnerability affects Kylin 2 version 2.6.5 and earlier, Kylin 3 version 3.1.2 and earlier, and Kylin 4 version 4.0.1 and earlier.
