CVE-2025-11158
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 · uneditedHitachi Vantara Pentaho Data Integration & Analytics versions before 10.2.0.6, including 9.3.x and 8.3.x, do not restrict Groovy scripts in new PRPT reports published by users, allowing insertion of arbitrary scripts and leading to a RCE.
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 · high confidenceHitachi Vantara Pentaho Data Integration & Analytics fails to restrict Groovy script execution in PRPT report definitions, allowing authenticated users to inject and execute arbitrary code on the server, resulting in remote code execution.

Am I affected? How to checkSteps we derive from the advisory and the affected-version data, so you can decide whether this CVE reaches your setup. They are a guide, not a scan — your own configuration is the authority.
dbcve checksWork through these to decide whether this CVE applies to you.
-
Identify the installed Pentaho Data Integration & Analytics versionCheck the product version displayed in the Pentaho user interface, or locate the version file in the Pentaho installation directory (typically found in version.properties or RELEASE_NOTES files within the installation root)Affected if The installed version is lower than 10.2.0.6 (e.g., 10.1, 9.x, 8.x series)
-
Confirm PRPT report functionality is accessibleVerify that the Pentaho Reporting module is enabled and users can access the report designer or upload PRPT report definition files through the Pentaho user console or APIAffected if PRPT report creation, editing, or execution capabilities are available to authenticated users
-
Determine if Groovy script execution is permitted in reportsExamine the Pentaho configuration files (such as pentaho.objects.spring.xml or report-engine-config.xml) for settings controlling Groovy script execution within PRPT report definitions, or test by creating a sample PRPT with a Groovy expressionAffected if Groovy scripting is not explicitly disabled or sandboxed in the Pentaho configuration, allowing arbitrary code execution through PRPT report definitions
The environment is affected if Pentaho Data Integration & Analytics version is below 10.2.0.6 AND the PRPT report module with Groovy script execution capability is accessible to authenticated users.

Remediation Closing itWhat it takes to close this. Where a vendor fix exists we point at it; where none exists we say so plainly, and can build one. Effort estimates are scoped from the advisory, not from your codebase.
dbcve · scoped10.2.0.6
Upgrade to Pentaho version 10.2.0.6 or later which enforces Groovy script restrictions, or apply vendor-supplied patches to affected versions.
10.2.0.6
- Identify the current Pentaho Data Integration & Analytics version in use
- Download Pentaho Data Integration & Analytics version 10.2.0.6 or later from the official Hitachi Vantara support portal
- Plan and execute the upgrade following Hitachi Vantara's official upgrade documentation
- After upgrading, verify that the Groovy script execution restriction is now enforced in PRPT reports
- Test that the new PRPT report functionality works correctly without allowing arbitrary Groovy script execution
