Real-World Exposure
org.apache.linkis:linkis-datasourceReal-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.

Open-source dependencyDetect
Scan your dependency tree (package-lock.json, pnpm-lock.yaml, requirements.txt, go.sum, etc.) for org.apache.linkis:linkis-datasource, including transitive dependencies — a direct dependency you never call can still pull in a vulnerable version.
Fix
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.
Workarounds
Do not deserialise data from untrusted sources: where the format allows it, restrict deserialisation to an explicit allowlist of expected types, and prefer a data-only format (JSON, Protobuf) over one that can reconstruct arbitrary objects until you can upgrade.
