Pentaho

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)     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.   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.

The web server receives a URL or similar request from an upstream component and retrieves the contents of this URL, but it does not sufficiently ensure that the request is being sent to the expected destination. (CWE-918)   Hitachi Vantara Pentaho Business Analytics Server versions before 10.2.0.0 and 9.3.0.9, including 8.3.x, do not validate the Host header of incoming HTTP/HTTPS requests.   By providing URLs to unexpected hosts or ports, attackers can make it appear that the server is sending the request, possibly bypassing access controls such as firewalls that prevent the attackers from accessing the URLs directly. The server can be used as a proxy to conduct port scanning of hosts in internal networks, use other URLs such as that can access documents on the system (using file://), or use other protocols such as gopher:// or tftp://, which may provide greater control over the contents of requests.

Hitachi Vantara Pentaho Business Analytics Server - Improper Neutralization of Input During Web Page Generation ('Cross-site Scripting')   The software does not neutralize or incorrectly neutralize user-controllable input before it is placed in output that is used as a web page that is served to other users. (CWE-79)   Hitachi Vantara Pentaho Business Analytics Server prior to versions 10.2.0.0 and 9.3.0.9, including 8.3.x, allow a malicious URL to inject content into the Analyzer plugin interface.   Once the malicious script is injected, the attacker can perform a variety of malicious activities. The attacker could transfer private information, such as cookies that may include session information, from the victim's machine to the attacker. The attacker could send malicious requests to a web site on behalf of the victim, which could be especially dangerous to the site if the victim has administrator privileges to manage that site.

Multiple unspecified vulnerabilities in Pentaho Business Intelligence (BI) Suite before 1.2 RC3 (1.2.0.470-RC3) have unknown impact and attack vectors, related to "MySQL Scripts need changes for security," possibly SQL injection vulnerabilities associated with these scripts.

Pentaho BI Server 1.7.0.1062 and earlier includes the session ID (JSESSIONID) in the URL, which allows attackers to obtain it from session history, referer headers, or sniffing of web traffic.

Pentaho BI Server 1.7.0.1062 and earlier does not set the autocomplete tag to off on web pages using a password field, which might allow physically proximate attackers to obtain the password.

Cross-site scripting (XSS) vulnerability in ViewAction in Pentaho BI Server 1.7.0.1062 and earlier allows remote attackers to inject arbitrary web script or HTML via the outputType parameter.
