GHSA-f786-9c63-8xr8
MEDIUMGHSA-f786-9c63-8xr8 is a medium-severity (CVSS 6.3) remote code execution vulnerability in org.apache.dolphinscheduler:dolphinscheduler. O3 Security confirms whether GHSA-f786-9c63-8xr8 is actually reachable in your code before you act, and blocks exploitation at runtime until you patch.

Description
Deserialization of Untrusted Data vulnerability in Apache DolphinScheduler RPC module.
This issue affects Apache DolphinScheduler:
Version >= 3.2.0 and < 3.3.1.
Attackers who can access the Master or Worker nodes can compromise the system by creating a StandardRpcRequest, injecting a malicious class type into it, and sending RPC requests to the DolphinScheduler Master/Worker nodes. Users are recommended to upgrade to version [3.3.1], which fixes the issue.
Affected Packages
| Ecosystem | Package | Vulnerable range | Fix |
|---|---|---|---|
| ☕Maven | org.apache.dolphinscheduler:dolphinscheduler | ≥ 3.2.0&&< 3.3.1 | 3.3.1 |
| ☕Maven | org.apache.dolphinscheduler:dolphinscheduler-rpc | ≥ 3.2.0&&< 3.3.1 | 3.3.1 |
Detection & mitigation playbook
Open-source dependencyDetect
Scan your dependency tree (package-lock.json, pnpm-lock.yaml, requirements.txt, go.sum, etc.) for org.apache.dolphinscheduler:dolphinscheduler. 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.
Fix
Update org.apache.dolphinscheduler:dolphinscheduler to 3.3.1 or later, then make sure no transitive (indirect) dependency still pins the vulnerable range — O3 confirms GHSA-f786-9c63-8xr8 is resolved across your whole dependency graph.
Workarounds
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 O3 protects you
O3 pinpoints whether GHSA-f786-9c63-8xr8 is reachable in your code and exactly where to fix it, then blocks exploitation in production at runtime until the patched version is deployed.
Tailored to GHSA-f786-9c63-8xr8. Runtime protection reduces exposure until a permanent patch is applied and verified — it complements patching, it doesn't replace it.
Frequently Asked Questions
Is GHSA-f786-9c63-8xr8 in your dependencies?
O3 detects GHSA-f786-9c63-8xr8 across Maven dependencies and uses function-level reachability to confirm whether the vulnerable code path is actually reachable — not just present. No false positives.
