CVE-2024-47073
📋 TL;DR
This vulnerability allows attackers to forge JWT tokens due to missing signature verification in DataEase. Attackers can gain unauthorized access to any interface in affected versions. All DataEase users running vulnerable versions are affected.
💻 Affected Systems
- DataEase
📦 What is this software?
Dataease by Dataease
⚠️ Risk & Real-World Impact
Worst Case
Complete system compromise where attackers gain administrative access to all data visualization functions, potentially accessing sensitive business data and modifying dashboards/reports.
Likely Case
Unauthorized access to business intelligence data, dashboard manipulation, and potential data exfiltration from compromised accounts.
If Mitigated
Limited impact if proper network segmentation and access controls prevent external access, but internal threats remain.
🎯 Exploit Status
Exploitation requires initial access to create forged tokens, but the technical complexity is low once an attacker understands the JWT structure.
🛠️ Fix & Mitigation
✅ Official Fix
Patch Version: v2.10.2
Vendor Advisory: https://github.com/dataease/dataease/security/advisories/GHSA-5jr4-wrm2-xj36
Restart Required: Yes
Instructions:
1. Backup your DataEase configuration and data. 2. Stop the DataEase service. 3. Upgrade to v2.10.2 using your package manager or manual installation. 4. Restart the DataEase service. 5. Verify the upgrade was successful.
🧯 If You Can't Patch
- Isolate DataEase instances behind strict network access controls, allowing only trusted IP addresses.
- Implement additional authentication layer (like reverse proxy with authentication) in front of DataEase.
🔍 How to Verify
Check if Vulnerable:
Check DataEase version via web interface admin panel or by examining the application files/version metadata.Check Version:
Check web interface at /#/system/about or examine deployment files for version information.Verify Fix Applied:
Verify version is v2.10.2 or later and test JWT token validation by attempting to use a modified token (in a controlled test environment).📡 Detection & Monitoring
Log Indicators:
- Unusual authentication patterns
- Access from unexpected user accounts
- Failed JWT validation attempts before patch
Network Indicators:
