I. BACKGROUND
Pentaho Analysis puts rich, analytic power in the hands of your business users
helping them gain the insights and understanding they need to make optimal
business decisions.
II. DESCRIPTION
Multiple vulnerabilities exist in Pentaho .
III. ANALYSIS
Summary:
A) Reflected XSS
B) Password field with autocomplete enabled
C) Disclosure of Session Tokens in URL
A) Reflected XSS
The presence of the Cross Site Scripting plague has been veryfied on
/pentaho/ViewAction parameters. The attacker-supplied code can perform
different actions, such as stealing the victim's session token or login credentials,
performing arbitrary actions on the victim's behalf, and logging their keystrokes.
Users can be induced to issue the attacker's crafted request in various ways.
For example, an attacker can send to the victim a link containing a malicious URL in
an email or instant message, instead of submit the link to popular web applications
that don't escape HTML characters such as <>'\().
An example is the following:
GET /pentaho/ViewAction?&outputType=khgj345<script>alert('Pwnd')</script>kjh3535
&solution=opentaps&action=CustomerLifeTimeOrders.xaction&path=Customer%20Analysis HTTP/1.0

The same servlet, /pentaho/ViewAction, contains other two parameters that are vulnerable to reflected
XSS: "action" and "path" (that are exploitable in the same way).
B) Password field with autocomplete enabled
The response to this request:
GET /pentaho/Login;jsessionid=857E0C182994F71355BE8A3860539BH7
contains the login form where credentials are passed to the application.
[...]
<tr>
<td colspan="2"><input type='password' name='j_password' size="30" ></td>
</tr>
[...]
The problem is that the autocomplete tag is not set to OFF. We recommend it,
especially for the presence of reflected XSS that in this situation can be exploited
to retrieve the password input from the browser history.
C) Disclosure of Session Tokens in URL
The web application session identifier, JSESSIONID, is disclosed in the URL:
that's a bad practice because these sensitive informations will be visible
in the client browser history, in the Referer header, in bookmarks.
An example:
http://demo1.opentaps.org:8181/pentaho/Login;jsessionid=857E0C18 2994F71355BE8A38605396B1
IV. DETECTION
1.7.0.1062 and earlier versions are vulnerable.
V. WORKAROUND
Proper input validation and session management will fix the vulnerabilities.
VI. VENDOR RESPONSE
No fix available.
VII. CVE INFORMATION
