CVE-2022-43769Known exploitationPublic exploitNetwork attack vector

Authenticated command execution via Spring template injection

Published Apr 3, 2023 · Updated Oct 21, 2025

Template injection in Hitachi Vantara Pentaho BA Server 1.0 through 9.3.0.1 and 9.4.0.0 allows remote authenticated users to execute commands. The /api/ldap/config/ldapTreeNodeChildren web service accepts attacker-controlled url values that are stored in properties files and later interprets embedded Spring templates with access to arbitrary Java classes. Low-privilege credentials are sufficient, and successful exploitation runs commands as the account hosting the server.
