Official description Straight from the sourceThe vendor's or NVD's own wording, published unedited. Authoritative, but often terse — it says what broke, rarely what to do.

NVD · unedited
DataHub is an open-source metadata platform. In affected versions a low privileged user could remove a user, edit group members, or edit another user's profile information. The default privileges gave too many broad permissions to low privileged users. These have been constrained in PR #9067 to prevent abuse. This issue can result in privilege escalation for lower privileged users up to admin privileges, potentially, if a group with admin privileges exists. May not impact instances that have modified default privileges. This issue has been addressed in datahub version 0.12.1. Users are advised to upgrade.

Technical summary Written by usOur analysis, written from the advisory, the CVSS vector and the affected-version data. It adds context the advisory leaves out, and never invents facts that are not in the source.

dbcve analysis
How this class of weakness works · CWE-276

Files, directories, or resources ship with permissions more open than they need to be, so unintended users can read or modify them. Attackers look for exactly these loose defaults. Remediation means tightening permissions to the minimum required and verifying them at install and at runtime.

Recommended fix High confidence

0.12.1

  1. Upgrade DataHub to version 0.12.1 or later
  2. Verify the upgrade by checking the DataHub version in the UI or via CLI: `datahub version`
  3. Confirm that the default privileges have been constrained by testing that low-privileged users can no longer remove users, edit group members, or modify other users' profile information
  4. If custom privilege modifications were made, review the updated privilege model in PR #9067 to ensure compatibility
