Descriptions

OpenMetadata is a unified platform for discovery, observability, and governance powered by a central metadata repository, in-depth lineage, and seamless team collaboration. `CompiledRule::validateExpression` is also called from `PolicyRepository.prepare`. `prepare()` is called from `EntityRepository.prepareInternal()` which, in turn, gets called from `EntityResource.createOrUpdate()`. Note that even though there is an authorization check (`authorizer.authorize()`), it gets called after `prepareInternal()` gets called and therefore after the SpEL expression has been evaluated. In order to reach this method, an attacker can send a PUT request to `/api/v1/policies` which gets handled by `PolicyResource.createOrUpdate()`. This vulnerability was discovered with the help of CodeQL's Expression language injection (Spring) query and is also tracked as `GHSL-2023-252`. This issue may lead to Remote Code Execution and has been addressed in version 1.3.1. Users are advised to upgrade. There are no known workarounds for this vulnerability.

OpenMetadata es una plataforma unificada para el descubrimiento, la observabilidad y la gobernanza impulsada por un repositorio central de metadatos, un linaje profundo y una colaboración fluida en equipo. `CompiledRule::validateExpression` también se llama desde `PolicyRepository.prepare`. `prepare()` se llama desde `EntityRepository.prepareInternal()` que, a su vez, se llama desde `EntityResource.createOrUpdate()`. Tenga en cuenta que aunque hay una verificación de autorización (`authorizer.authorize()`), se llama después de que se llama a `prepareInternal()` y, por lo tanto, después de que se haya evaluado la expresión SpEL. Para llegar a este método, un atacante puede enviar una solicitud PUT a `/api/v1/policies` que es manejada por `PolicyResource.createOrUpdate()`. Esta vulnerabilidad se descubrió con la ayuda de la consulta de inyección de lenguaje de expresión (Spring) de CodeQL y también se rastrea como "GHSL-2023-252". Este problema puede provocar la ejecución remota de código y se solucionó en la versión 1.3.1. Se recomienda a los usuarios que actualicen. No se conocen workarounds para esta vulnerabilidad.
