Confidentiality: Low
Integrity: None
Availability: None

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: None: The attacker is unauthorized prior to attack, and therefore does not require any access to settings or files to carry out an attack.
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 15 Dec 2025
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 2026-10-25.

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 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

The primary mitigation is to upgrade Hitachi Vantara Pentaho Data Integration and Analytics to version 10.2.0.4 or later, where this vulnerability has been addressed. If immediate upgrade is not feasible, organizations should implement custom error handling to suppress detailed stack traces from being displayed to end users, ensuring only generic error messages are shown. Web application firewalls (WAFs) can be configured to detect and block requests that trigger error stack traces or suspicious servlet access patterns. Conduct thorough code reviews and configuration audits to verify that error handling follows security best practices. Additionally, restrict access to the GetCdfResource servlet to trusted networks or authenticated users where possible. Monitor logs for unusual error patterns that may indicate exploitation attempts. Educate development and operations teams about secure error handling to prevent similar issues in future deployments. Finally, maintain an up-to-date inventory of Pentaho versions in use across the organization to prioritize patching efforts.

Description

Hitachi Vantara Pentaho Data Integration and Analytics Community Dashboard Framework prior to versions 10.2.0.4, including 9.3.0.x and 8.3.x display the full server stack trace when encountering an error within the GetCdfResource servlet.

Impact

For European organizations, this vulnerability poses a risk primarily to the confidentiality of sensitive information. Disclosure of stack traces can reveal internal server architecture, software versions, and configuration details that attackers can leverage to identify further vulnerabilities or craft targeted attacks. Organizations relying on Pentaho for critical data analytics and integration may face increased reconnaissance activity, potentially leading to more severe breaches if combined with other vulnerabilities. Although the vulnerability does not directly affect data integrity or system availability, the exposure of sensitive information can undermine trust and compliance with data protection regulations such as GDPR. Industries with high data sensitivity, including finance, healthcare, and government sectors, are particularly vulnerable. The ease of remote exploitation without authentication means attackers can probe systems externally, increasing the attack surface. This may lead to increased targeted attacks against European enterprises using affected Pentaho versions, especially if patches are not applied promptly.

CWE-209Generation of Error Message Containing Sensitive Information (opens in a new tab)
Base weaknessLikelihood of exploit: HighOWASP Top 10 A10:2025: Mishandling of Exceptional Conditions (opens in a new tab)
The product generates an error message that includes sensitive information about its environment, users, or associated data.
Implementation
Ensure that error messages only contain minimal details that are useful to the intended audience and no one else. The messages need to strike the balance between being too cryptic (which can confuse users) or being too detailed (which may reveal more than intended).
Implementation
Handle exceptions internally and do not display errors containing potentially sensitive information to a user.
Implementation · Attack Surface Reduction
Use naming conventions and strong types to make it easier to spot when sensitive data is being used. When creating structures, objects, or other complex entities, separate the sensitive and non-sensitive data as much as possible.
