CVE-2025-32966
Published: 23 April 2025
Summary
CVE-2025-32966 is a high-severity Authentication Bypass by Spoofing (CWE-290) vulnerability in Dataease Dataease. Its CVSS base score is 8.2 (High).
Operationally, ranked in the top 9.9% of CVEs by exploit likelihood; it is not currently listed in the CISA KEV catalog; a public proof-of-concept is referenced.
Deeper analysis
DataEase, an open-source business intelligence platform positioned as an alternative to Tableau, contains a remote code execution vulnerability in versions prior to 2.10.8. The flaw allows authenticated users to achieve RCE by supplying a malicious JDBC connection string to the backend, corresponding to CWE-290.
An attacker with valid credentials can exploit the JDBC link handling to execute arbitrary commands on the server. The CVSS 4.0 score of 8.2 reflects a network-accessible attack with high impact on confidentiality, integrity, and availability despite the high attack complexity.
The official advisory at https://github.com/dataease/dataease/security/advisories/GHSA-h7hj-4j78-cvc7 states that the issue has been fixed in release 2.10.8, indicating that upgrading to this version or later eliminates the vulnerable JDBC processing path.
EPSS for the CVE rose from lower values after disclosure to a peak of 0.1192 on 2026-05-22 before receding to the current 0.0515, indicating that exploitation interest increased post-publication and that the vulnerability merits renewed attention.

Per-CVE control mapping for this CVE has not run yet; the list below is derived from the weakness types (CWEs) cited in the NVD entry.
Reveals spoofed logon attempts through unexpected previous logon timestamps upon legitimate login.
Training specifically addresses recognizing spoofed communications and phishing that enable authentication bypass.
Requiring verifiable identity evidence at appropriate assurance levels makes it substantially harder for attackers to successfully spoof or impersonate users to obtain accounts.
Unique device authentication makes successful spoofing of device identity substantially more difficult to achieve.
Unique identification of non-organizational users reduces the feasibility of authentication bypass by spoofing.
Unique identification and authentication of services before communications makes spoofing of service identities substantially harder.
Isolated trusted path ensures the user interacts only with genuine system components, preventing spoofing of authentication interfaces or prompts.
Directly counters DNS response spoofing by requiring cryptographic origin authentication artifacts from the authoritative source.
