Which packages are affected by CVE-2023-46801?

CVE-2023-46801 affects the following packages: org.apache.linkis:linkis-datasource (Maven). Ecosystems affected: Maven.

How do I fix CVE-2023-46801?

Update org.apache.linkis:linkis-datasource to 1.6.0 or later, then make sure no transitive (indirect) dependency still pins the vulnerable range — O3 confirms CVE-2023-46801 is resolved across your whole dependency graph.

How do I detect CVE-2023-46801 in my Maven dependencies?

Scan your dependency tree (package-lock.json, pnpm-lock.yaml, requirements.txt, go.sum, etc.) for org.apache.linkis:linkis-datasource. 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-2023-46801 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-2023-46801?

O3 pinpoints whether CVE-2023-46801 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-2023-46801 actively exploited in the wild?

No public exploit code has been indexed for CVE-2023-46801 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-2023-46801?

CVE-2023-46801 has an EPSS (Exploit Prediction Scoring System) score of 1.2%, placing it in the 65th 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. This score indicates relatively lower exploitation probability, though the CVSS severity should still guide your patching priority.

When was CVE-2023-46801 published, and has it been updated?

CVE-2023-46801 was published on July 15, 2024 and was last updated on April 12, 2026. Advisory data evolves as severity scores, affected ranges, and exploit intelligence are revised — always check the latest version of the advisory before acting.

Real-time download stats are indexed for npm and PyPI packages. This vulnerability affects Maven packages — download data is not available via public APIs for these ecosystems.

Description

In Apache Linkis <= 1.5.0, data source management module, when adding Mysql data source, exists remote code execution vulnerability for java version < 1.8.0_241. The deserialization vulnerability exploited through jrmp can inject malicious files into the server and execute them.

This attack requires the attacker to obtain an authorized account from Linkis before it can be carried out. We recommend that users upgrade the java version to >= 1.8.0_241. Or users upgrade Linkis to version 1.6.0.
