Impact

An excessive resource allocation flaw in the remote workflow editing functions of KNIME Business Hub allows an authenticated user to exhaust server resources, causing the workflow execution service to become intermittently unavailable. This denial of service arises from the creation or handling of large tables in data apps, leading the server to consume excessive memory or processing time. The impact remains confined to the execution side of the Hub but can affect all users relying on that service.

Affected Systems

KNIME Business Hub versions earlier than 1.19.0, particularly the remote workflow editing feature.

Risk and Exploitability

The weakness is rated with a CVSS score of 5.3, indicating moderate severity. EPSS data is not available, so the exact likelihood of exploitation is uncertain, and the vulnerability is not listed in the CISA KEV catalog. The attack vector requires authenticated access to the Hub's workflow editor; no public or anonymous exploitation path is documented. In a scenario where privileged users can create or edit workflows, an attacker could trigger repeated large table operations to deplete server resources, resulting in a temporary denial of service for all workflow execution requests.

Remediation

No solution or workaround provided in the CVE record.

OpenCVE Recommended Actions

  • Upgrade KNIME Business Hub to version 1.19.0 or later, which removes the excessive resource allocation bug.
  • Restrict workflow editing privileges to only those users who truly require the ability to modify workflows.
  • Monitor server CPU, memory, and execution queue metrics for anomalous spikes, and set alerts so that any exhaustion can be detected quickly.
  • If large table processing is not essential, configure data app settings to limit table size or enable pagination.
