Who should care

Users of DataEase versions prior to 2.10.23 should apply the patch immediately. Security teams monitoring open-source data visualization tools should prioritize this fix. IT teams responsible for data visualization and analysis tools should review their deployments and apply the necessary updates.

Technical summary

The vulnerability in DataEase arises from the /datasource/upload API, which allows uploading a payload.zip file. By creating an H2 datasource using the zip: protocol and executing an SQL dataset path, an attacker can cause precompiled Java aliases in test.mv.db to execute arbitrary code. This issue is addressed in version 2.10.23. The vulnerability has a CVSS score of 7.1 and is classified as HIGH severity.

Defensive priority

High priority due to CVSS score of 7.1 and potential for code execution.

Recommended defensive actions

  • Apply the patch by upgrading to DataEase version 2.10.23 or later
  • Restrict access to the /datasource/upload API
  • Monitor for suspicious uploads and datasource creations
  • Implement additional security controls around Java alias execution
  • Review compensating controls for exposed systems while remediation is scheduled and verified
  • Check relevant monitoring, detection, and logs for exposed assets that need extra review
  • Track exceptions, retest remediated assets, and close the item only after evidence is documented
