SCA: security update for org.open-metadata:openmetadata-service (GHSA-5xv3-fm7g-865r)

high Tenable Self-Hosted Container Security Plugin ID 411093

Description

There are packages installed that are affected by a vulnerability referenced in the following CVE:

- OpenMetadata is a unified platform for discovery, observability, and governance powered by a central
metadata repository, in-depth lineage, and seamless team collaboration. The
`‎CompiledRule::validateExpression` method evaluates an SpEL expression using an
`StandardEvaluationContext`, allowing the expression to reach and interact with Java classes such as
`java.lang.Runtime`, leading to Remote Code Execution. The
`/api/v1/policies/validation/condition/<expression>` endpoint passes user-controlled data
`CompiledRule::validateExpession` allowing authenticated (non-admin) users to execute arbitrary system
commands on the underlaying operating system. In addition, there is a missing authorization check since
`Authorizer.authorize()` is never called in the affected path and therefore any authenticated non-admin
user is able to trigger this endpoint and evaluate arbitrary SpEL expressions leading to arbitrary command
execution. This vulnerability was discovered with the help of CodeQL's Expression language injection
(Spring) query and is also tracked as `GHSL-2023-236`. This issue may lead to Remote Code Execution and
has been resolved in version 1.2.4. Users are advised to upgrade. There are no known workarounds for this
vulnerability. (CVE-2024-28848)
