Vulnerability Details:

Pentaho implements a series of web services using the SOAP protocol to
allow scripting interaction with the backend server. While most of the
interfaces correctly implement ACL, the Data Source Management Service
located at "/pentaho/webservices/datasourceMgmtService" allows
low-privilege authenticated users to list the connection details of all
data sources used by Pentaho.

--- ### --- ### ---

Proof of Concept (PoC):

See Ginger ( https://github.com/HawSec/ginger )

or

the following HTTP calls demonstrate how an authenticated user can retrieve
the details of all available Pentaho Data Sources including, but not
limited to, the cleartext username and password credentials.
