IBM Cognos Analytics Mobile 1.1 for iOS application could allow an attacker to reverse engineer the codebase to gain knowledge about the programming technique, interface, class definitions, algorithms and functions used due to weak obfuscation.

IBM Cognos Analytics 11.2.0 through 11.2.4 FP5 and 12.0.0 through 12.0.4 could allow a remote attacker to traverse directories on the system. An attacker could send a specially crafted URL request containing "dot dot" sequences (/../) to view arbitrary files on the system.

IBM Cognos Analytics 11.2.0 through 11.2.4 FP5 is vulnerable to local file inclusion vulnerability, allowing an attacker to access sensitive files by inserting path traversal payloads inside the deficon parameter.

The product does not handle or incorrectly handles when it has insufficient privileges to access resources or functionality as specified by their permissions. This may cause it to follow unexpected code paths that may leave the product in an invalid state. (CWE-280)   Hitachi Vantara Pentaho Business Analytics Server versions before 10.2.0.0 and 9.3.0.9, including 8.3.x, do not handle invalid and missing permissions correctly, resulting in a denial of service.   An adversary leverages a legitimate capability of an application in such a way as to achieve a negative technical impact.

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.

The product does not perform an authorization check when an actor attempts to access a resource or perform an action. (CWE-862)  Hitachi Vantara Pentaho Business Analytics Server versions before 10.2.0.0 and 9.3.0.8, including 8.3.x, do not correctly perform an authorization check in the data source management service. When access control checks are incorrectly applied, users can access data or perform actions that they should not be allowed to perform. This can lead to a wide range of problems, including information exposures and denial of service.

The product transmits or stores authentication credentials, but it uses an insecure method that is susceptible to unauthorized interception and/or retrieval. (CWE-522)   Hitachi Vantara Pentaho Data Integration & Analytics versions before 10.2.0.0 and 9.3.0.8, including 8.3.x, discloses database passwords when saving connections to RedShift.   Products must not disclose sensitive information without cause. Disclosure of sensitive information can lead to further exploitation.

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.

The product receives input from an upstream component, but it does not restrict or incorrectly restricts the input before it is used as an identifier for a resource that may be outside the intended sphere of control. (CWE-99)  Hitachi Vantara Pentaho Data Integration & Analytics versions before 10.2.0.0 and 9.3.0.9, including 8.3.x, do not restrict JNDI identifiers during the creation of Community Dashboards, allowing control of system-level data sources.  An attacker could gain access to or modify sensitive data or system resources. This could allow access to protected files or directories including configuration files and files containing sensitive information, which can lead to remote code execution by unauthorized users.

The product performs an authorization check when an actor attempts to access a resource or perform an action, but it does not correctly perform the check. This allows attackers to bypass intended access restrictions. (CWE-863)     Hitachi Vantara Pentaho Business Analytics Server versions before 10.2.0.0 and 9.3.0.9, including 8.3.x, have modules enabled by default that allow execution of system level processes.   When access control checks are incorrectly applied, users can access data or perform actions that they should not be allowed to perform. This can lead to a wide range of problems, including information exposures and denial of service.
