Any signed-in user can exploit it over the network, with no action from the victim.\nExploitation: There is no known exploitation of CVE-2021-45448 in the wild and no public exploit code.\n\nAffected product: Hitachi Vantara Pentaho Business Analytics Server. No package-level version data is available, so check the vendor advisory linked from the reference page.\n\nTask:\n1. Search the dependency manifests and lockfiles (for example package.json, package-lock.json, requirements.txt, poetry.lock, uv.lock, pom.xml, build.gradle, go.mod, Cargo.lock, Gemfile.lock) and any Dockerfiles for the affected packages, including transitive dependencies.\n2. If an affected version is in use, upgrade it to the fixed version for its release line with the project's package manager, so the lockfile is regenerated. Prefer the smallest upgrade that fixes it.\n3. If there is no fix, or the upgrade would break the build, do not guess: explain the risk and the safest workaround instead.\n4. Run the tests and summarise what changed and why.\n5. If nothing in the project is affected, say so and change nothing.\n\nReference: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2021-45448/ (Markdown: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2021-45448/index.md)","id":"CVE-2021-45448","markdown":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2021-45448/index.md","name":"CVE-2021-45448","record":{"aliases":["GHSA-6rjj-325g-5j42"],"analysis":{"component_type":"server_software","fix_type":"upgrade","impacts":["data_read"],"network_reachable":"yes","non_default_config":false,"product_category":"Business Analytics Server","requires_auth":"low_privilege","summary":"Attackers can access arbitrary files outside the restricted directory via a user-supplied path in the Pentaho Analyzer plugin.","user_interaction":"not_required","vuln_class":"path_traversal"},"analysis_generated_by":"qwen3.8-flash-next","assigner":"HITVAN","cpe":[{"product":"vantara_pentaho","vendor":"hitachi"}],"cvss":{"score":7.1,"severity":"high","source":"cna","vector":"CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:L/PR:L/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:L/A:N","version":"3.1"},"cwes":[{"id":"CWE-22","name":"Improper Limitation of a Pathname to a Restricted Directory"}],"description":"Pentaho Business Analytics\n Server versions before 9.2.0.2 and 8.3.0.25 using the Pentaho \nAnalyzer plugin exposes a service endpoint for templates which allows a \nuser-supplied path to access resources that are out of bounds. \n\nThe software uses external input to construct a pathname that is intended to identify a file or \ndirectory that is located underneath a restricted parent directory, but the software does not \nproperly neutralize special elements within the pathname that can cause the pathname to \nresolve to a location that is outside of the restricted directory.  By using special elements such as \n\"..\" and \"/\" separators, attackers can escape outside of the restricted \nlocation to access files or directories that are elsewhere on the \nsystem.","ecosystems":[],"exploits":{"exploitdb":0,"first_seen":null,"github_poc":0,"max_poc_stars":null,"metasploit":0,"nuclei":0,"refs":[],"tier":"none_known"},"has_fix":null,"headline":"Path traversal in Pentaho Business Analytics Server","id":"CVE-2021-45448","indexable":true,"kev":null,"kind":"cve","links":{"ecosystem":null,"product":null,"products":[],"type":"path_traversal","year":"2021"},"n_packages":0,"n_references":1,"next":{"headline":"Information disclosure in n/a","id":"CVE-2021-45449"},"packages":[],"prev":{"headline":"Information disclosure in Pentaho Business Analytics Server","id":"CVE-2021-45447"},"products":["Pentaho Business Analytics Server"],"published":"2022-11-02","related":[{"cvss_score":9.8,"headline":"SQL injection in n/a","id":"CVE-2021-34684","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2021-11-08"},{"cvss_score":8.8,"headline":"Code injection in n/a","id":"CVE-2021-31599","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2021-11-08"},{"cvss_score":8,"headline":"Hitachi Vantara Pentaho Business Analytics Server - Deserialization of Untrusted Data","id":"CVE-2022-4815","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2023-05-24"},{"cvss_score":7.7,"headline":"Information disclosure in Pentaho Business Analytics Server","id":"CVE-2021-45447","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2022-11-02"},{"cvss_score":7.1,"headline":"Information disclosure in n/a","id":"CVE-2021-31601","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2021-11-08"},{"cvss_score":6.5,"headline":"XML external entity in n/a","id":"CVE-2020-24665","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2021-01-29"}],"sources":[{"class":"attribution","licence":"CVE Terms of Use (MITRE)","name":"CVE List","prefix":"CVE"},{"class":"attribution","licence":"US public information, NVD API terms","name":"NVD"},{"class":"attribution","licence":"CWE Terms of Use","name":"CWE (MITRE)"},{"class":"attribution","licence":"FIRST CVSS licence","name":"CVSS (FIRST)"}],"ssvc":{"automatable":"no","exploitation":"none","technical_impact":"partial"},"state":"PUBLISHED","updated":"2025-05-02","vendors":["Hitachi Vantara"]},"summary":"Attackers can access arbitrary files outside the restricted directory via a user-supplied path in the Pentaho Analyzer plugin.","url":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2021-45448/"}
