Lifecycle Timeline
3Description
DataEase is an open source data visualization analysis tool. Versions 2.10.19 and below have inconsistent Locale handling between the JDBC URL validation logic and the H2 JDBC engine's internal parsing. DataEase uses String.toUpperCase() without specifying an explicit Locale, causing its security checks to rely on the JVM's default runtime locale, while H2 JDBC always normalizes URLs using Locale.ENGLISH. In Turkish locale environments (tr_TR), Java converts the lowercase letter i to İ (dotted capital I) instead of the standard I, so a malicious parameter like iNIT becomes İNIT in DataEase's filter (bypassing its blacklist) while H2 still correctly interprets it as INIT. This discrepancy allows attackers to smuggle dangerous JDBC parameters past DataEase's security validation, and the issue has been confirmed as exploitable in real DataEase deployment scenarios running under affected regional settings. The issue has been fixed in version 2.10.20.
Analysis
DataEase versions 2.10.19 and below contain a locale-dependent validation bypass vulnerability that allows attackers to smuggle dangerous JDBC parameters past security filters. The flaw stems from inconsistent locale handling where DataEase's validation uses the JVM default locale while H2 JDBC always uses English locale, causing Turkish locale environments to misinterpret malicious parameters like 'iNIT' (bypassing blacklist as 'İNIT' while H2 executes it as 'INIT'). …

Remediation
Within 24 hours: Identify all DataEase instances and their versions; isolate Turkish and non-English locale environments from production if possible; restrict DataEase access to essential users only. Within 7 days: Implement WAF rules to block JDBC parameter injection attempts; enable enhanced logging on DataEase database connections; conduct access reviews for DataEase accounts. …
