What is CVE-2024-6696?
CVE-2024-6696 is a medium-severity missing authorization vulnerability in Hitachi Vantara Pentaho Business Analytics Server, published on 19 Feb 2025. An attacker needs administrator access to exploit it, with no action from the victim.
Official description
The product implements access controls via a policy or other feature with the intention to disable or restrict accesses (reads and/or writes) to assets in a system from untrusted agents. However, implemented access controls lack required granularity, which renders the control policy too broad because it allows accesses from unauthorized agents to the security-sensitive assets. (CWE-1220)
Hitachi Vantara Pentaho Business Analytics Server versions before 10.2.0.0 and 9.3.0.9, including 8.3.x, do not correctly perform an authorization check in the user console trash content
An attacker exploits a weakness in the configuration of access controls and is able to bypass the intended protection that these measures guard against and thereby obtain unauthorized access to the system or network.
Weakness: CWE-1220
