CVE-2024-56511 is a critical-severity Authentication Bypass by Alternate Name (CWE-289) vulnerability in Dataease Dataease. Its CVSS base score is 9.3 (Critical).
Operationally, exploitation aligns with the MITRE ATT&CK technique Exploit Public-Facing Application (T1190); ranked in the top 1% of CVEs by exploit likelihood; it is not currently listed in the CISA KEV catalog; a public proof-of-concept is referenced.
The strongest mitigations our analysis identified map to IA-2 (Identification and Authentication (Organizational Users)) and IA-4 (Identifier Management) — see the control section below for these in your framework.

CVE-2024-56511 is an authentication bypass vulnerability in DataEase, an open source data visualization analysis tool. The flaw affects versions prior to 2.10.4 and resides in the io.dataease.auth.filter.TokenFilter class. This class uses request.getRequestURI to obtain the request URL, which is then passed to the WhitelistUtils.match method to check if the URL requires authentication. While the match method filters semicolons, it is insufficient when users configure server.servlet.context-path during deployment, allowing bypass via crafted paths such as /geo/../context-path/.
The vulnerability has a CVSS v3.1 base score of 9.8 (AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:H/A:H), indicating critical severity with no prerequisites for exploitation over the network. Remote attackers without privileges can exploit it by sending requests with manipulated paths that evade the whitelist check, gaining unauthorized access to protected interfaces and potentially compromising confidentiality, integrity, and availability of the application.
The issue has been addressed in DataEase version 2.10.4. Security practitioners should upgrade to this version or later. Additional details are available in the GitHub Security Advisory at https://github.com/dataease/dataease/security/advisories/GHSA-9f69-p73j-m73x.

Vulnerability Data
DataEase is an open source data visualization analysis tool. Prior to 2.10.4, there is a flaw in the authentication in the io.dataease.auth.filter.TokenFilter class, which can be bypassed and cause the risk of unauthorized access. In the io.dataease.auth.filter.TokenFilter class, ”request.getRequestURI“ is…

used to obtain the request URL, and it is passed to the "WhitelistUtils.match" method to determine whether the URL request is an interface that does not require authentication. The "match" method filters semicolons, but this is not enough. When users set "server.servlet.context-path" when deploying products, there is still a risk of being bypassed, which can be bypassed by any whitelist prefix /geo/../context-path/. The vulnerability has been fixed in v2.10.4.

Mitigating Controls (NIST 800-53 r5) AI
Requiring unique identification and authentication of users forces the system to resolve all name variants to a single identity before access is granted.
Identifier management directly requires authorization and uniqueness checks that eliminate alternate-name aliases for the same actor or resource.
Mitigating Controls (NIST CSF 2.0) AI
Derived directly from the weakness types (CWEs) cited in the NVD entry via our AI-authored CWE→CSF cross-walk (authority under review) — links open the control.
Strong authentication mechanisms directly prevent name-based bypass when they enforce canonical name checks.
Proper identity management reduces alternate-name collisions but does not guarantee canonicalization inside the auth decision.
Authorization policy enforcement assumes correct identity; the weakness occurs before policy is applied.

Derived directly from the weakness types (CWEs) cited in the NVD entry via our AI-authored CWE→ISO cross-walk (authority under review) — links open the control.
Access-control policy can mandate canonical-name checks but does not prescribe the technical implementation.
Identity-management processes can require unique, canonical identifiers, reducing alternate-name bypass risk.
Proper management of authentication credentials can include rules against duplicate or alias identities.
Access-rights provisioning can enforce canonical-name validation when granting rights.
Information-access-restriction mechanisms can implement canonical-name checks to prevent bypass.
Secure-authentication controls can require canonical identifiers and reject alternate names.
