CVE-2022-43940Network attack vector

Authenticated data access via incorrect authorization checks

Published Apr 3, 2023 · Updated Feb 11, 2025

Authorization bypass in Pentaho Business Analytics Server before 9.4.0.1 and 9.3.0.2 lets remote authenticated users exceed access rights. The data source management service applies its authorization check incorrectly to protected data and operations. A low-privileged authenticated account is required; exposed data and permitted unauthorized actions depend on the account and configured data sources.
