Overview

ckan is a world’s leading Open Source data portal platform.

It powers dozens of Open Data portals around the world, including data.gov, open.canada.ca and europeandataportal.eu but also regional, research and community organizations.

It makes easy to publish, share and find data online and is fully customizable via extensions and plugins.

Affected versions of this package are vulnerable to Information Exposure Through an Error Message due to the error handling mechanism in the package_search action. An attacker can obtain sensitive information by triggering connection issues with the Solr server, which results in the internal Solr URL, potentially including credentials, being leaked in the error message.
