CVE-2022-43773Network attack vector

Authenticated code execution via HSQLDB stored procedures

Published Apr 3, 2023 · Updated Feb 11, 2025

Incorrect permissions in Pentaho Business Analytics Server before 9.3.0.2 and 9.4.0.1 allow remote authenticated users to execute code. The bundled sample HSQLDB data source leaves stored procedures enabled, allowing a malicious procedure to write executable JSP files into the application context. Low-privileged authenticated access and the sample HSQLDB configuration are required; successful exploitation runs attacker-controlled code on the server.
