CVE-2022-43939 is an authorization bypass vulnerability in Hitachi Vantara Pentaho Business Analytics Server affecting versions before 9.4.0.1 and 9.3.0.2, including 8.3.x. The issue stems from the product making security or authorization decisions on non-canonical URL paths, allowing specially crafted or malformed URL requests to circumvent security restrictions. As a result, a remote attacker can use non-canonical URL forms to reach resources or functions that should be protected by access controls.

This repository contains a single Metasploit module targeting Hitachi Vantara Pentaho Business Analytics Server. The module exploits two chained vulnerabilities: an authentication bypass (CVE-2022-43939) and a server-side template injection (SSTI, CVE-2022-43769). By abusing a regex flaw in the authentication mechanism, the module gains unauthorized access to sensitive endpoints, specifically '/api/ldap/config/ldapTreeNodeChildren'. It then leverages SSTI in the 'url' parameter to execute arbitrary Java code, resulting in remote code execution as the Pentaho server user. The module supports multiple payloads and platforms (Windows, Linux, Unix), and can deliver reverse shells or Meterpreter sessions. The exploit is fully weaponized, allowing for customizable payloads and reliable exploitation. The only file present is a Ruby Metasploit module, structured with standard Metasploit conventions, and is intended for use within the Metasploit Framework.
