# CVE-2024-37361: Hitachi Vantara Pentaho Business Analytics Server - Deserialization of Untrusted Data

- Severity: CVSS 9.9 (Critical), CNA
- Vector: CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:L/PR:L/UI:N/S:C/C:H/I:H/A:H
- CISA SSVC: exploitation=none, automatable=no, technicalImpact=total
- Known exploited (CISA KEV): no
- Fixed in: 10.2.0.0, 9.3.0.9
- Published: 2025-02-19 · Updated: 2025-02-20

## Affected

- Hitachi Vantara Pentaho Data Integration & Analytics: from 10.0, fixed in 10.2.0.0
- Hitachi Vantara Pentaho Business Analytics Server: from 1.0, fixed in 9.3.0.9

## Description

The application deserializes untrusted data without sufficiently verifying that the resulting data will be valid. (CWE-502) Hitachi Vantara Pentaho Business Analytics Server versions before 10.2.0.0 and 9.3.0.9, including 8.3.x, deserialize untrusted JSON data without constraining the parser to approved classes and methods. When developers place no restrictions on "gadget chains," or series of instances and method invocations that can self-execute during the deserialization process (i.e., before the object is returned to the caller), it is sometimes possible for attackers to leverage them to perform unauthorized actions.

## What to do

- Check your stack: if you ship or depend on Hitachi Vantara Pentaho Data Integration & Analytics, Hitachi Vantara Pentaho Business Analytics Server, upgrade to a fixed version (10.2.0.0, 9.3.0.9) per the references below.
