Authenticated local-file disclosure via external XML entities
Published Apr 16, 2025 · Updated Apr 17, 2025
XXE in Pentaho Business Analytics Server before 10.2.0.2 allows remote authenticated users to read local files. Data Access XMLParserFactoryProducer permits DTD external entities to resolve file:// and http:// URIs instead of blocking external resource access. High-privilege access to XML submission is required; exploitation reads server-local files or makes server-originated network requests.
