Overview
The product processes an XML document that can contain XML entities with URIs that resolve to documents outside of the intended sphere of control, causing the product to embed incorrect documents into its output. (CWE-611)
Products Affected
Pentaho Data Integration & Analytics prior to versions 10.2.0.7 and 11.0.0.0
Description
Pentaho Data Integration & Analytics versions before 10.2.0.7 and 11.0.0.0 does not prevent certain XML parsers from resolving external entities.
Impact
An attacker may supply a crafted DTD using URIs with schemes such as http://, forcing the application to make outgoing HTTP requests to servers that the attacker cannot reach directly, which can be used to bypass firewall restrictions; hide the source of attacks such as port scanning; or otherwise leverage the server's trust relationship with other entities.
Action
We recommend you upgrade to the latest Pentaho Data Integration & Analytics release or Service Pack where this vulnerability is addressed.
Please review the Pentaho End-of-Life policy to ensure you are up to date.
