by Robert Howell - Follow

Overview 

Hitachi Vantara Pentaho Business Analytics Server - performs an authorization check when an actor attempts to access a resource or perform an action, but it does not correctly perform the check. This allows attackers to bypass intended access restrictions. (CWE-863)

 

Products Affected
