CVE-2024-28848
CVSS 3.1 Score 8.8 of 10 (high)
Details
Summary
CVE-2024-28848 is a Remote Code Execution vulnerability affecting OpenMetadata, a platform for discovery, observability, and governance. The issue lies in the `CompiledRule::validateExpression` method, which uses an `StandardEvaluationContext` to evaluate SpEL expressions, enabling interaction with Java classes like `java.lang.Runtime`. This vulnerability can be exploited through the `/api/v1/policies/validation/condition/<expression>` endpoint, where user-controlled data is passed to the `CompiledRule::validateExpession` function. Authenticated non-admin users can take advantage of this and execute arbitrary system commands on the underlying operating system, due to a missing authorization check. The vulnerability was discovered using CodeQL's Expression language injection (Spring) query, and it is also tracked as GHSL-2023-236. Users are strongly advised to upgrade to OpenMetadata version 1.2.4 to mitigate this risk, as there are currently no known workarounds for this issue.
