Hitachi Vantara Pentaho Business Analytics through 9.1 allows an unauthenticated user to execute arbitrary SQL queries on any Pentaho data source and thus retrieve data from the related databases, as demonstrated by an api/repos/dashboards/editor URI.
The product constructs all or part of an SQL command using externally-influenced input from an upstream component, but it does not neutralize or incorrectly neutralizes special elements that could modify the intended SQL command when it is sent to a downstream component. Without sufficient removal or quoting of SQL syntax in user-controllable inputs, the generated SQL query can cause those inputs to be interpreted as SQL instead of ordinary user data.
