Impact

Overly informative error messages in the catalog functionality of KNIME Business Hub prior to version 1.18.5 allow an authenticated remote attacker who knows a workflow ID to retrieve the corresponding workflow name, thereby revealing potentially sensitive project information. The vulnerability is an information‑disclosure flaw, classified as CWE‑209, and can be used to construct a map of available workflows within the organization.

Affected Systems

The affected product is KNIME Business Hub with versions older than 1.18.5 from the KNIME organization. Any instance of the Business Hub running these versions and exposing the catalog API to network traffic is potentially vulnerable.

Risk and Exploitability

The CVSS score of 6.9 indicates moderate severity, and the EPSS score is not available. The vulnerability is not listed in the CISA KEV catalog, suggesting it has not yet been widely exploited. The attack vector is remote and requires authentication, meaning only users with valid credentials to the Business Hub can trigger the information disclosure. Given that the flaw is solely informational, the primary risk is to confidentiality of project metadata.

Remediation

No solution or workaround provided in the CVE record.

OpenCVE Recommended Actions

  • Upgrade to KNIME Business Hub version 1.18.5 or later, which contains the fix for the catalog error disclosure.
  • Limit exposure of the catalog API to authenticated users only and enforce stricter role‑based access controls to reduce the set of potential attackers.
  • Configure the Business Hub to omit or generalize detailed error messages that include workflow identifiers, thereby preventing accidental information leakage.
