CVE-2025-57772
📋 TL;DR
This vulnerability allows remote code execution in DataEase BI tools through a JDBC URL bypass. Attackers can exploit a flaw in H2 database driver filtering to execute arbitrary code on affected systems. Organizations using DataEase versions before 2.10.12 are vulnerable.
💻 Affected Systems
- DataEase
📦 What is this software?
Dataease by Dataease
⚠️ Risk & Real-World Impact
Worst Case
Full system compromise allowing attackers to execute arbitrary commands, steal sensitive data, deploy ransomware, or pivot to other systems in the network.
Likely Case
Remote code execution leading to data theft, installation of backdoors, or use of the compromised system for further attacks.
If Mitigated
Limited impact if proper network segmentation, least privilege access, and monitoring are in place to detect and contain exploitation attempts.
🎯 Exploit Status
The advisory provides technical details that could be weaponized. The bypass mechanism is described in the commit and advisory.
🛠️ Fix & Mitigation
✅ Official Fix
Patch Version: 2.10.12
Vendor Advisory: https://github.com/dataease/dataease/security/advisories/GHSA-v37q-vh67-9rqv
Restart Required: Yes
Instructions:
1. Backup your DataEase configuration and data. 2. Download version 2.10.12 from the official repository. 3. Stop the DataEase service. 4. Replace the installation with the patched version. 5. Restart the DataEase service. 6. Verify functionality.
🔧 Temporary Workarounds
Network Access Restriction
linuxRestrict network access to DataEase instances to only trusted IP addresses
iptables -A INPUT -p tcp --dport [DataEase_port] -s [trusted_ip] -j ACCEPT
iptables -A INPUT -p tcp --dport [DataEase_port] -j DROP
Disable H2 Driver
allRemove or disable H2 database driver if not required for operations
rm /path/to/dataease/lib/h2*.jar
Restart DataEase service after removal
🧯 If You Can't Patch
- Implement strict network segmentation and firewall rules to limit access to DataEase instances
- Deploy web application firewall (WAF) rules to block malicious JDBC URL patterns
🔍 How to Verify
Check if Vulnerable:
Check DataEase version via web interface or configuration files. Versions below 2.10.12 are vulnerable.Check Version:
Check DataEase web interface admin panel or examine version.txt in installation directoryVerify Fix Applied:
Verify version is 2.10.12 or higher and test that H2 JDBC URL filtering is functioning properly.📡 Detection & Monitoring
Log Indicators:
- Unusual JDBC connection attempts
- H2 driver initialization errors
- Suspicious database connection patterns
Network Indicators:
- Unexpected outbound connections from DataEase server
- JDBC protocol anomalies
