CVE-2024-55238:
Java vulnerability analysis and mitigation
Overview
OpenMetadata versions 1.4.1 and earlier contain a SQL Injection vulnerability. The vulnerability exists in the listCount function within the WorkflowDAO interface, where the workflowtype and status parameters can be used to build a SQL query without proper sanitization (NVD).
Technical details
The vulnerability is present in the API endpoint /api/v1/automations/workflow. The workflowtype and status parameters are directly used to build SQL queries in lines 4243 and 4247 of the CollectionDAO.java file without proper input validation or sanitization. This implementation allows an attacker to inject malicious SQL statements. The vulnerability has received a CVSS v3.1 Base Score of 8.8 HIGH (Vector: CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:L/PR:L/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:H/A:H) from NVD, and 7.1 HIGH (Vector: CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:L/PR:L/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:L/A:N) from MITRE (NVD).
Impact
The SQL injection vulnerability allows attackers to extract sensitive information from the database, including passwords, JWT tokens, and other user data. Attackers can potentially spoof identity, tamper with existing data, cause repudiation issues, and gain administrative access to the database server (GitHub POC).
Mitigation and workarounds
Users should upgrade to a version newer than 1.4.1 when available. No specific workarounds have been published for this vulnerability (NVD).
