Descriptions

Hitachi Vantara Pentaho Business Analytics through 9.1 allows an unauthenticated user to execute arbitrary SQL queries on any Pentaho data source and thus retrieve data from the related databases, as demonstrated by an api/repos/dashboards/editor URI.

Hitachi Vantara Pentaho Business Analytics versiones hasta 9.1, permite que un usuario no autenticado ejecute consultas SQL arbitrarias en cualquier fuente de datos de Pentaho y, por lo tanto, recupere datos de las bases de datos relacionadas, como es demostrado por una URI api/repos/dashboards/editor

Pentaho allows users to create and manage Data Sources. Users can select a Data Source when creating a Dashboard through the Pentaho User Console. When a Data Source is added, Pentaho makes a HTTP request to the dashboards editor (/pentaho/api/repos/dashboards/editor) in order to test the connection by executing a test SQL query. However, further examination revealed that by utilizing CVE-2021-31602, an authentication bypass of Spring APIs, it is possible for an unauthenticated user to execute arbitrary SQL queries on any Pentaho datasource and thus retrieve data from the related databases.
