MITRE ATT&CK
2 techniques across 2 tactics: Discovery, Collection The technique list with ATT&CK links and the kill-chain view is part of the Basic plan and up. |
| Exploitation Conditions | Exploitation requires an authenticated DataEase account with access to the export-center bulk delete API endpoint (CVSS PR:L confirms low but non-zero privileges are needed - this is not unauthenticated). The concrete prerequisite is the ability to submit attacker-controlled export task identifiers to ExportCenterManage.delete via the bulk delete API; supplying ../ path traversal sequences in those identifiers is the trigger. Limiting factors: the target must be running a version prior to 2.10.23, the attacker must possess valid credentials/session, and the achievable damage is bounded by the filesystem write permissions of the DataEase service account - a hardened least-privilege deployment confines deletion to the export directory, whereas a service running as root or a broad account allows deletion of arbitrary server directories. No user interaction and no non-default feature toggle is required (UI:N), as export-center deletion is standard functionality. |
| Impact | The vendor CVSS 4.0 base score is 8.3 (High) with vector AV:N/AC:L/AT:N/PR:L/UI:N and impact concentrated on availability (VA:H, SA:H) - consistent with a destructive file-deletion primitive rather than data theft, since confidentiality and integrity are rated N. The attack is network-reachable, low-complexity, and requires only low privileges (PR:L: any authenticated DataEase account), with no user interaction, making it readily automatable by an insider or a compromised low-privilege account. No EPSS score, KEV listing, or public POC was provided in the intelligence, so real-world exploitation appears speculative rather than confirmed; however, the availability of a precise upstream commit diff materially raises the practical risk of exploit development. One signal to verify: the official vector scores VI:N (no integrity impact), yet recursive deletion of arbitrary directories arguably also destroys/modifies data - defenders should treat this as a high-severity destructive bug regardless of the integrity sub-score. |
| Exploit ScenarioDerived | An attacker who holds any low-privilege DataEase account (or has hijacked one) sends a crafted bulk delete request to the export-center endpoint with a task identifier such as ../../../../var/lib/dataease, causing the server to recursively delete that directory tree under the service account's privileges. By iterating over sensitive paths the attacker can destroy application data, uploaded assets, or other server files, causing denial of service and data loss. No public POC is referenced, but the patched code path is documented in the fix commit. |

Alert meAnalysisAIv1 – Jul 15, 2026
Arbitrary directory deletion in DataEase, an open-source data visualization and analysis platform, allows an authenticated user (PR:L) to abuse the export-center bulk delete API by injecting path traversal sequences (../) into task identifiers, which are passed unsanitized to ExportCenterManage.delete and used to recursively delete server directories. All releases prior to 2.10.23 are affected, and the fix in 2.10.23 constrains deletion to identifiers that exist as legitimate export tasks in the database. There is no public exploit identified at time of analysis and the issue is not on the CISA KEV list, but a full commit-level patch is publicly available which lowers the barrier to reverse-engineering an exploit.
RemediationAI
Vendor-released patch: upgrade DataEase to version 2.10.23 or later, which adds an existence check (exportTaskMapper.exists) so that FileUtils.deleteDirectoryRecursively and deleteById only run against ids that correspond to a real export task, neutralizing traversal payloads; the release is at https://github.com/dataease/dataease/releases/tag/v2.10.23 and the advisory at https://github.com/dataease/dataease/security/advisories/GHSA-mwr5-hw6p-cqmg. If immediate upgrade is not possible, restrict network access to the DataEase management interface and the export-center delete API to trusted administrators only, tighten authorization so low-privilege accounts cannot reach the bulk delete endpoint (this may disable self-service export cleanup for those users), and run the DataEase service under a least-privilege OS account whose write scope is confined to the export data directory so that traversal outside it fails (side effect: verify the app still has write access to all legitimate paths it needs). Monitor export-center delete requests for id parameters containing ../ or encoded traversal sequences and alert on them as a compensating detection control.

Technical ContextAI · show details
DataEase is a Java/Spring Boot web application (FIT2CLOUD) whose export-center feature persists generated export artifacts under an exportData_path directory keyed by a task id. The vulnerability is a classic CWE-22 Path Traversal / Improper Limitation of a Pathname to a Restricted Directory: the bulk delete endpoint concatenates an attacker-controlled id directly onto exportData_path and calls FileUtils.deleteDirectoryRecursively(exportData_path + id) with no validation that the id maps to a real export task. Supplying ../ segments walks the resolved path outside the intended export storage folder, enabling recursive deletion anywhere the DataEase service account has write access. The CPE cpe:2.3:a:dataease:dataease:*:*:*:*:*:*:*:* confirms the affected product is the DataEase application across all versions below the fixed release.

Lifecycle Timeline
2DescriptionCVE.org
DataEase is an open source data visualization and analysis tool. Prior to 2.10.23, DataEase export-center deletion can accept path traversal sequences such as ../ in the bulk delete API endpoint and pass attacker-controlled identifiers to ExportCenterManage.delete, allowing recursive deletion of arbitrary server directories through export task cleanup. This issue is fixed in version 2.10.23.
Executive ViewAI
DataEase versions prior to 2.10.23 contain an arbitrary directory deletion vulnerability affecting authenticated users, enabling malicious or compromised low-privilege accounts to delete critical server directories, resulting in potential data loss and service disruption. Organizations running vulnerable versions face immediate risk to data integrity and application availability.
Apply vendor patch. Until patched, restrict export-center API access to trusted administrators only and enable detailed audit logging for all delete operations.
