Looker Denodo Driver Database Connection Vulnerability Allowing Command Execution

Vulnerability

A vulnerability exists in Looker self-hosted instances, where a user with a Developer role can create a database connection using the Denodo driver. By manipulating LookML, the user could cause Looker to execute a malicious command. This issue has been mitigated in Looker-hosted instances, but self-hosted instances need to be upgraded as soon as possible.

Impact

Exploitation allows for the execution of malicious commands on the Looker instance.

Remediation

Self-hosted Looker instances should be upgraded to version 24.12.108+, 24.18.200+, 25.0.78+, 25.6.65+, 25.8.47+, 25.12.10+ or 25.14. Versions prior to 24.12.108, 24.18.200, 25.0.78, 25.6.65, 25.8.47, 25.12.10 and 25.14 are vulnerable.
