# CVE-2024-6696: Hitachi Vantara Pentaho Business Analytics Server - Insufficient Granularity of Access Control

- Severity: CVSS 4.9 (Medium), CNA
- Vector: CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:L/PR:H/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:N/A:N
- CISA SSVC: exploitation=none, automatable=no, technicalImpact=partial
- 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 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.
