CVE-2025-53005
📋 TL;DR
This vulnerability allows attackers to bypass security controls in DataEase's PostgreSQL data source JDBC connection parameters by manipulating sslfactory and sslfactoryarg parameters. It affects all DataEase installations prior to version 2.10.11 that use PostgreSQL data sources. The high CVSS score indicates this could lead to serious security breaches.
💻 Affected Systems
- DataEase
📦 What is this software?
Dataease by Dataease
⚠️ Risk & Real-World Impact
Worst Case
Complete system compromise allowing attackers to execute arbitrary code, access sensitive data, or take control of the DataEase server and potentially connected databases.
Likely Case
Unauthorized access to PostgreSQL databases through DataEase, potentially leading to data theft, modification, or deletion of business intelligence data.
If Mitigated
Limited impact if network segmentation prevents direct access to vulnerable instances and proper authentication controls are in place.
🎯 Exploit Status
The advisory suggests this is a bypass vulnerability that could be exploited without authentication, though specific exploit details are not publicly documented.
🛠️ Fix & Mitigation
✅ Official Fix
Patch Version: 2.10.11
Vendor Advisory: https://github.com/dataease/dataease/security/advisories/GHSA-99c4-h4fq-r23v
Restart Required: Yes
Instructions:
1. Backup your DataEase configuration and data. 2. Download version 2.10.11 or later from the official repository. 3. Stop the DataEase service. 4. Replace the installation with the patched version. 5. Restart the DataEase service. 6. Verify the version is 2.10.11 or higher.
🔧 Temporary Workarounds
Disable PostgreSQL Data Sources
allTemporarily disable PostgreSQL data source connections until patching can be completed.
# Edit DataEase configuration to remove PostgreSQL data sources
# Restart DataEase service after configuration changes
Network Segmentation
linuxRestrict network access to DataEase instances to only trusted IP addresses.
# Configure firewall rules to limit access
# Example: iptables -A INPUT -p tcp --dport [DataEase_port] -s [trusted_IP] -j ACCEPT
🧯 If You Can't Patch
- Implement strict network access controls to limit who can reach DataEase instances.
- Monitor for unusual database connection attempts or parameter manipulation in logs.
🔍 How to Verify
Check if Vulnerable:
Check the DataEase version. If it's below 2.10.11 and PostgreSQL data sources are configured, the system is vulnerable.Check Version:
Check the DataEase web interface admin panel or configuration files for version information.Verify Fix Applied:
Confirm the version is 2.10.11 or higher and test PostgreSQL data source connections to ensure they work securely.📡 Detection & Monitoring
