CVE-2026-40563
Description: Improper Control of Generation of Code ('Code Injection') vulnerability in Apache Atlas Apache Atlas exposes a DSL search endpoint that accepts user-supplied query strings. Attacker can alter Gremlin traversal logic within grammar-allowed characters to access unintended data
Affect Version: This issue affects Apache Atlas: from 0.8 through 2.4.0.
For the affect version >= 2.0, vulnerability is only when Atlas is deployed with below non-default configuration.
atlas.dsl.executor.traversal=false
Mitigation: Users are recommended to upgrade to version 2.5.0, which fixes the issue.
