Hitachi Pentaho Business Analytics Server - Remote Code Execution
Exploited in the wild. Listed by CISA on 2025-03-03; known to be used by ransomware.
Hitachi Pentaho Business Analytics Server prior to versions 9.4.0.1 and 9.3.0.2, including 8.3.x, is susceptible to remote code execution via server-side template injection.
