Hitachi Vantara Pentaho Business Analytics Server versions before 9.4.0.1 and 9.3.0.3, including 8.3.x deserialize untrusted JSON data without constraining the parser to approved classes and methods.
Hitachi Vantara Pentaho Business Analytics Server versions before 9.4.0.1 and 9.3.0.3, including 8.3.x expose dashboard prompts to users who are not part of the authorization list.
Pentaho Business Analytics
Server versions before 9.2.0.2 and 8.3.0.25 using the Pentaho
Analyzer plugin exposes a service endpoint for templates which allows a
user-supplied path to access resources that are out of bounds.
The software uses external input to construct a pathname that is intended to identify a file or
directory that is located underneath a restricted parent directory, but the software does not
properly neutralize special elements within the pathname that can cause the pathname to
resolve to a location that is outside of the restricted directory. By using special elements such as
".." and "/" separators, attackers can escape outside of the restricted
location to access files or directories that are elsewhere on the
system.
Hitachi Vantara Pentaho Business Analytics Server versions before 9.3.0.0, 9.2.0.2 and
8.3.0.25 with the Data Lineage feature enabled transmits database passwords in clear text.
The transmission of sensitive data in clear text allows unauthorized actors with access to the
network to sniff and obtain sensitive information that can be later used to gain unauthorized
access.
A vulnerability in
Hitachi Vantara Pentaho Business Analytics Server versions before 9.2.0.2 and
8.3.0.25 does not cascade the hidden property to the children of the Home folder. This directory listing provides an attacker with the complete index of all the resources located
inside the directory.
An issue was discovered in Hitachi Vantara Pentaho through 9.1 and Pentaho Business Intelligence Server through 7.x. A reports (.prpt) file allows the inclusion of BeanShell scripts to ease the production of complex reports. An authenticated user can run arbitrary code.
An issue was discovered in Hitachi Vantara Pentaho through 9.1 and Pentaho Business Intelligence Server through 7.x. They implement a series of web services using the SOAP protocol to allow scripting interaction with the backend server. An authenticated user (regardless of privileges) can list all valid usernames.

An authenticated user (regardless of privileges) can list all databases connection details and credentials.
An issue was discovered in Hitachi Vantara Pentaho through 9.1 and Pentaho Business Intelligence Server through 7.x. The Security Model has different layers of Access Control. One of these layers is the applicationContext security, which is defined in the applicationContext-spring-security.xml file. The default configuration allows an unauthenticated user with no previous knowledge of the platform settings to extract pieces of information without possessing valid credentials.
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.
