Dataease is a powerful open-source data visualization tool used by organizations for processing and analyzing large datasets. It is typically utilized by data analysts, developers, and decision-makers to create interactive dashboards, reports, and charts that aid in data-driven decision-making. This software supports integration with various data sources, allowing users to bridge data silos and provide a holistic view of their data. Small and large businesses alike employ Dataease to streamline data operations and enhance the strategic insights they derive from their data. Its intuitive interface and vast capabilities make it an essential tool in many sectors, including finance, healthcare, and marketing. Due to its open-source nature, it is continually evolving with community contributions enhancing its functionality and security.
The vulnerability addressed by this scanner relates to the use of default login credentials, a common oversight in the security configuration of Dataease. Often, software installations are left with built-in accounts that possess default usernames and passwords, such as 'demo/dataease'. This oversight can lead to unauthorized access if the credentials are not changed post-installation. The Default Login vulnerability can be a critical risk, especially in environments where sensitive data is processed and stored. Therefore, identifying and mitigating such vulnerabilities is essential to maintaining data privacy and integrity. By detecting the presence of these default credentials, the scanner helps organizations bolster their security posture.
Technically, this vulnerability involves endpoints in the Dataease application where authentication is handled, specifically the '/api/auth/login' endpoint. The scanner uses a POST request to attempt an authentication bypass using default credentials, verifying successful login by matching specific tokens or success markers in the response body. The conditions include checking for a 'success' message and a 'token' in the HTTP response, which together confirm successful access with default credentials. This vulnerability parameter is detailed within the authentication payload that encapsulates encoded default username and password credentials.
If exploited, the Default Login vulnerability can lead to unauthorized access, allowing attackers to navigate and manipulate data within the Dataease application. Potential malicious activities might include data exfiltration, the introduction of false data, or the deletion of existing data records. This could harm an organization's operations by leading to incorrect business decisions based on manipulated data, regulatory penalties due to data breaches, and reputational damage. Recognizing and eliminating default credential vulnerabilities is vital to protect an organization's sensitive assets.
