Bold values are the worst case: easiest to exploit or largest impact.

Attack Vector: Network: The vulnerable component is bound to the network stack and the set of possible attackers extends beyond the other options listed, up to and including the entire Internet. Such a vulnerability is often termed 'remotely exploitable' and can be thought of as an attack being exploitable at the protocol level one or more network hops away (e.g., across one or more routers).
Attack Complexity: Low: Specialized access conditions or extenuating circumstances do not exist. An attacker can expect repeatable success against the vulnerable component.
Privileges Required: Low: The attacker is authorized with (i.e., requires) privileges that provide basic user capabilities that could normally affect only settings and files owned by a user. Alternatively, an attacker with Low privileges may have the ability to cause an impact only to non-sensitive resources.
User Interaction: None: The vulnerable system can be exploited without any interaction from any user.
Scope: Unchanged: An exploited vulnerability can only affect resources managed by the same security authority. In this case, the vulnerable component and the impacted component are either the same, or both are managed by the same security authority.
Confidentiality: Low: There is some loss of confidentiality. Access to some restricted information is obtained, but the attacker does not have control over what information is obtained, or the amount or kind of loss is limited. The information disclosure does not cause a direct, serious loss to the impacted component.
Integrity: None: There is no loss of integrity within the impacted component.
Availability: None: There is no impact to availability within the impacted component.

Exploitation evidence

Disclosed: evidence found.
CVE published 30 Jan 2024
Detectable: no evidence on record.
No public nuclei template indexed
Weaponised: no evidence on record.
No public exploit code indexed in Metasploit or Exploit-DB
Exploited in the wildExploited: no evidence on record.
Not in CISA KEV and no source reports exploitation
Observed by OffSeq MirageSeen by Mirage: no evidence on record.
No attack traffic recorded by OffSeq Mirage sensors

A missing step is not evidence of safety. Sources: cve.org (opens in a new tab), the Metasploit, Exploit-DB and nuclei-templates index as of 26 Oct 2026.

Disclosed: The CVE record is public on cve.org. Its publication is t = 0.
Detectable: A public nuclei template can find exposed instances, for defenders and attackers alike.
Weaponised: Public exploit code exists in Metasploit or Exploit-DB, or CISA SSVC or the CVSS exploit maturity reports a public proof of concept.
Exploited in the wild: CISA KEV lists it, CISA SSVC rates exploitation active, or a source reports attacks.
Observed by OffSeq Mirage: OffSeq Mirage honeypot sensors recorded attack traffic for this CVE, or found exposed hosts without attack traffic.

Moments are spaced evenly, not to scale; a dashed line marks a gap of six months or more. Deltas count from t = 0. Sources that give only a date (CISA KEV, Exploit-DB, or a time of exactly 00:00Z) read “same day” rather than hours. Metasploit modules carry the flaw’s disclosure date, not their release date, and nuclei templates carry no date, so both appear above but not on the timeline.

AI-suggested

Restrict access to openBI instances by implementing network-level controls such as firewalls and VPNs to limit exposure to trusted users only.
Enforce strict authentication and authorization policies to ensure only privileged users can access the vulnerable 'agent' function or related API endpoints.
Monitor and audit access logs for unusual or unauthorized API calls targeting the 'agent' function or the Datament.php controller.
Apply web application firewalls (WAFs) with custom rules to detect and block suspicious manipulation of the 'api' argument.
If feasible, disable or restrict the vulnerable functionality temporarily until an official patch is released.
Keep openBI installations isolated from public networks or segment them within secure network zones.
Regularly update and patch openBI once vendor fixes become available.
Conduct internal security assessments and penetration tests focusing on API input validation and information disclosure vectors.
Educate administrators and users about the risks of exposing business intelligence tools and the importance of secure configuration.

Description

A vulnerability, which was classified as problematic, has been found in openBI up to 1.0.8. Affected by this issue is the function agent of the file /application/index/controller/Datament.php. The manipulation of the argument api leads to information disclosure. The attack may be launched remotely. The exploit has been disclosed to the public and may be used. The identifier of this vulnerability is VDB-252308.

Impact

For European organizations using openBI versions up to 1.0.8, this vulnerability poses a risk of unauthorized information disclosure. Given that openBI is a business intelligence tool, the sensitive data exposed could include internal analytics, user credentials, or proprietary business information. Such exposure could lead to competitive disadvantage, regulatory non-compliance (e.g., GDPR violations if personal data is leaked), and reputational damage. The medium severity rating suggests the impact is moderate, but the risk increases if the attacker has some level of access privileges. Organizations in regulated industries such as finance, healthcare, and government sectors in Europe are particularly at risk due to the sensitivity of the data processed. Additionally, since the attack can be launched remotely, any exposed openBI instances accessible over the internet or internal networks are vulnerable. The absence of a patch increases the urgency for interim controls. The impact on confidentiality could also facilitate further attacks if sensitive configuration or credential information is disclosed.

The product exposes sensitive information to an actor that is not explicitly authorized to have access to that information.
MITRE discourages mapping vulnerabilities to this broad entry; the root cause is usually a more specific weakness.
Architecture and Design · Separation of Privilege
Compartmentalize the system to have "safe" areas where trust boundaries can be unambiguously drawn. Do not allow sensitive data to go outside of the trust boundary and always be careful when interfacing with a compartment outside of the safe area.
