Overview 

The product 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 

Hitachi Vantara Pentaho Business Analytics Server versions before 10.2.0.0 and 9.3.0.9, including 8.3.x,

 

Description 

Hitachi Vantara Pentaho Business Analytics Server versions before 10.2.0.0 and 9.3.0.9, including 8.3.x, have modules enabled by default that allow execution of system level processes.

 

Impact 

When access control checks are incorrectly applied, users can access data or perform actions that they should not be allowed to perform. This can lead to a wide range of problems, including information exposures and denial of service.

 

Action  

The defect may be mitigated now by applying a more restrictive configuration which disables the modules.

We recommend you upgrade to the latest Hitachi Vantara Pentaho 10.2 release where this vulnerability is addressed. For version 9.3, we recommend installing Service Pack 9.3.0.9 or higher where this vulnerability is addressed. 

Please review the Pentaho End-of-Life policy to ensure you are up to date.
