AI-suggested

  1. Immediately upgrade OpenMetadata installations to version 1.11.4 or later to apply the official patch addressing the SSTI vulnerability.
  2. Enforce strict access controls and limit administrative privileges to essential personnel only, implementing the principle of least privilege.
  3. Monitor administrative account activities for unusual behavior or unauthorized access attempts, using SIEM or EDR solutions.
  4. Audit and sanitize all inputs used in FreeMarker templates, especially those that can be influenced by users or external systems.
  5. Implement network segmentation to isolate metadata management platforms from broader enterprise networks to reduce lateral movement risk.
  6. Conduct regular security assessments and penetration testing focused on template injection and code execution vulnerabilities.
  7. Educate administrators on the risks of SSTI and the importance of secure template handling.
  8. Maintain up-to-date backups of metadata and configuration data to enable recovery in case of compromise.

Description

OpenMetadata is a unified metadata platform. Versions 1.5.0 through 1.11.3 are vulnerable to remote code execution via Server-Side Template Injection (SSTI) in FreeMarker email templates. An attacker must have administrative privileges to exploit the vulnerability. Version 1.11.4 contains a patch.
