Vulnerability in Influxdata Influxdb

CVE-2022-36640

influxData influxDB before v1.8.10 contains no authentication mechanism or controls, allowing unauthenticated attackers to execute arbitrary commands.

Otherwise the data will be publicly available to any unauthenticated user. The default settings do NOT enable authentication and authorization."
