# Patch Next advisory brief: CVE-2022-38369

Advisory: Apache IoTDB Session Fixation vulnerability
IDs: CVE-2022-38369, GHSA-g6vm-3ch8-c6jq
Record: https://patchnext.com/advisories/cve-2022-38369 (revision 3, source checked 26 Oct 2026, 13:30 UTC)
Inventory: none attached. This brief comes from a public page and does not say whether any deployment is affected.
Severity: Medium (CVSS 6.3)
Exploitation: no confirmed exploitation recorded. Patch Next confirms exploitation only from CISA KEV.
Vendor response: Vendor fix available; fixed versions by package: apache-iotdb 0.13.1; org.apache.iotdb:iotdb-server 0.13.1. A vendor fix does not mean a deployment is fixed.

## Affected components
- PyPI apache-iotdb: affected < 0.13.1; fixed in 0.13.1
- Maven org.apache.iotdb:iotdb-server: affected < 0.13.1; fixed in 0.13.1

## Suggested inspection (read-only)
- `python -m pip show apache-iotdb`: prints the installed version. Run with the environment that serves production active.
- Maven org.apache.iotdb:iotdb-server: check the installed version with your package manager.

## Supported action
Upgrade each affected component to a fixed version on its release line. For a transitive dependency, upgrade the parent package or add an override or constraint, then regenerate the lockfile. Redeploy every environment that ran an affected version.

## Required regression checks
- Run the test suite and a production build.
- Exercise the features that depend on apache-iotdb, org.apache.iotdb:iotdb-server.
- Repeat the inspection and confirm that only fixed versions remain installed.

## Rollback considerations
- Keep the previous lockfile and deployment artifact. Rolling back reinstates the vulnerable version, so apply any documented mitigation while you fix forward.

## Unresolved questions
- Which deployments run an affected version?
- Exploitation status can change. Check again before lowering the priority.
- Mark the work resolved only after the fixed version is verified in production.
