CVE-2024-28848  (opens in a new tab)
CWE-917  (opens in a new tab)

How to fix?

Upgrade org.open-metadata:openmetadata-service to version 1.2.4 or higher.

Overview

Affected versions of this package are vulnerable to Expression Language Injection due to unchecked SpEL evaluation in CompiledRule::validateExpression using getValue, which uses the StandardEvaluationContext. This allows the expression to use internal classes such as java.lang.Runtime and execute arbitrary system commands on the underlaying operating system.

In addition, Authorizer.authorize() is never called on the affected path, so authenticated users can trigger this endpoint and evaluate arbitrary SpEL expressions.
