GitHub Security Lab audited DataHub: Here's what they found

GitHub Security Lab conducted an audit of DataHub, an open-source metadata platform used for data discovery and governance, uncovering several critical vulnerabilities in its authentication and authorization modules. These vulnerabilities, which included Server-Side Request Forgery (SSRF), Cross-Site Scripting (XSS), JSON Injection, and missing JWT signature checks, could have allowed attackers to bypass authentication, gain unauthorized access to sensitive data, and perform other malicious activities. The audit employed both manual inspections and automated CodeQL analysis to identify these issues. After discovering these vulnerabilities, GitHub Security Lab reported them to the DataHub development team and collaborated closely to patch them, resulting in security improvements in DataHub versions 0.8.45 and 0.9.5. This collaboration has not only enhanced the security of DataHub but also benefited the wider community of organizations utilizing the platform.
