Description

influxData influxDB before v1.8.10 contains no authentication mechanism or controls, allowing unauthenticated attackers to execute arbitrary commands. NOTE: the CVE ID assignment is disputed because the vendor's documentation states "If InfluxDB is being deployed on a publicly accessible endpoint, we strongly recommend authentication be enabled. Otherwise the data will be publicly available to any unauthenticated user. The default settings do NOT enable authentication and authorization."

Affected products

• Influxdata Influxdb: before 1.8.0 — fixed in 1.8.0

How to fix

Upgrade to a fixed version: Influxdata Influxdb 1.8.0. Check the vendor advisory for mitigations.
