A user with only SYSTEM-level privileges (such as\nUSE_PIPE or MAINTAIN) who does NOT have WRITE_DATA or DELETE_DATA\npermissions on target databases can send specially crafted PipeData\nmessages through the Legacy Pipe API, resulting in data loading/deletion\noperations executed as root — effectively bypassing IoTDB's permission\nmodel entirely.\n\n\n\nThis issue affects Apache IoTDB: from 2.0.0 before 2.0.11.\n\n\n\nUsers are recommended to upgrade to version 2.0.11, which fixes the issue."
