Pentaho output handling src/app/reports/run-report/pentaho/pentaho.component.ts, src/app/reports/run-report/pentaho/pentaho.component.html, src/app/reports/run-report/pentaho/pentaho.component.scss |
The component uses the configured tenant identifier and selects output handling by type. HTML uses a sandboxed srcdoc frame, PDF uses an application/pdf blob URL, and XLS, XLSX, CSV, and XML use download links. Unsupported types remain hidden. |
Report navigation page objects playwright/config/routes.ts, playwright/config/selectors.ts, playwright/pages/reports/*, playwright/pages/index.ts |
Routes and selectors cover the reports catalogue and report runner. Page objects provide catalogue filtering, report navigation, output selection, report submission, and output waits. |
Component validation src/app/reports/run-report/pentaho/pentaho.component.spec.ts |
Unit tests cover HTML decoding and sandboxing, PDF and download handling, request cancellation, tenant propagation, object URL cleanup, unsupported types, and failures. |
Output isolation regression tests playwright/tests/admin/reports-pentaho-frame-isolation.spec.ts |
Tests stub report API responses and check HTML frame isolation, PDF and download output, independent XLS/XLSX selection, and application-title protection. |

258-260: 🔒 Security & Privacy | 🔵 Trivial | ⚡ Quick winAssert the PDF blob MIME type.
The E2E test checks only the blob URL and the absence of
srcdoc. It does not check the MIME type of the blob used by the iframe. Add an assertion for the actual blob response. The unit test covers the component call, but not this browser path.Suggested fix
await expect(runReport.pentahoFrame).toHaveAttribute('src', /^blob:/); await expect(runReport.pentahoFrame).not.toHaveAttribute('srcdoc', /.+/); + const contentType = await runReport.pentahoFrame.evaluate(async (frame) => { + const response = await fetch((frame as HTMLIFrameElement).src); + return response.headers.get('content-type'); + }); + expect(contentType).toBe('application/pdf'); await expect(page).not.toHaveTitle(XSS_MARKER);This is an additional coverage improvement for currently working code. It does not establish a current production security issue.

exactly rather than using substring matching, so selecting XLS does not also
match XLSX.
Review comments at @src/app/reports/run-report/pentaho/pentaho.component.ts:
- Around line 173-175: Update the charset parsing in the response decoding flow
to remove surrounding quotes from declared charset values before passing them to
TextDecoder, preserving support for unquoted values and the UTF-8 fallback. Add
spec coverage for a quoted non-UTF-8 charset, such as windows-1252, and verify
non-ASCII text decodes correctly.
- Line 138: In the report request flow, capture the output type from the current
dataObject when each request starts and use that captured value when present()
handles its response. Cancel or unsubscribe from the previous request when a new
run starts so an older response cannot overwrite the newer report or select its
rendering path.
- Around line 99-100: Ensure pending PDF and download requests are canceled when
the component is destroyed so they cannot create a blob URL afterward. Connect
the request subscriptions to the component’s destruction lifecycle, and have
ngOnDestroy cancel them before calling releaseBlobUrl().

@vbe-robotron could you please add a video for a testing done using the Pentaho report plugin? also the video while using BIRT will be great to have it as a regression test...

Thanks for the review feedback. The existing Pentaho Playwright tests and BIRT unit tests are passing. However, the current E2E environment uses stubbed report API responses and does not include the actual Pentaho or BIRT reporting plugins. Setting up both real reporting engines would require additional compatible Fineract/plugin environments. I don't want to present stub-based recordings as tests of the actual plugins. Would recordings from the existing security tests, together with the test results, be sufficient for this PR, or is testing against the actual reporting plugins a requirement for approval? |

Summary
PentahoComponentframed the/runreports/<name>response as ablob:URL in an<iframe>with nosandboxattribute, and let the engine'sContent-Typedecide how those bytes were parsed. Ablob:URL inherits the creating document's origin, so a report body carrying markup ran as the application:
it could read
parent.documentand the credential blob kept in web storage (mifosXCredentials→Fineract Base64 Basic-auth key, replayable outside the browser until the password changes).
BirtComponentwas already hardened this way ind3270984(WEB-1239). This PR brings the Pentahorenderer in line with its sibling.
blob:iframe, no sandboxsrcdoc+sandbox="allow-scripts"(noallow-same-origin)blob:iframe, no sandboxapplication/pdf(Chrome will not run its PDF viewer in a sandboxed frame)blob:Two smaller fixes ride along: the report is requested for the configured tenant instead of a hard-coded
"default"(BIRT already does this), and a failed request now clears the output and releases the objectURL (
finalize+catchError) instead of leaving a stale document behind.Why the
Content-Typeno longer decides parsingThe type is chosen by the reporting engine, not by this application, so it must not be what determines
whether a response is read as markup. After this change:
srcdoc— no object URL is framed at all.application/pdf, so it reaches the browser's viewer and never a markup parser.Verification
src/app/reports/run-report/pentaho/pentaho.component.spec.ts— 14 cases (new file; the directoryhad no spec):
srcdoc+ sandbox, the server'sContent-Typecannot force markup, PDF type pinning,the ticket
#zoom=500fragment, downloads for XLS/XLSX/CSV/XML, tenant, object-URL revocation, errorhandling.

chromium-adminproject, againstapache/fineract:7ac780192(1.16.0-SNAPSHOT).data-payload="executed"),data-credentialsabsent) and does not change the top-level title,blob:frame, CSV produces a download and no frame.prettier --check,eslint,stylelint— clean.Measured before/after (same stubbed `/runreports` response)
Before: frame
srcisblob:…, nosandboxattribute, frame body hasdata-payload="executed"and
data-credentials="readable", anddocument.titlebecomesPENTAHO_XSS_EXECUTED(
parent.*would throw from an opaque origin, so this is the same-origin proof).After: frame is
srcdocwithsandbox="allow-scripts",data-payload="executed"still appears —report scripts are supposed to run — but
data-credentialsis absent and the title is unchanged.Scope
Stock Fineract does not ship the Pentaho engine (
GET /reports/template→allowedReportTypes: ["Table","Chart","SMS"]; no.prptdesign, no engine jar, onlyDatatableReportingProcessServiceis deployed), and the app has no Pentaho provisioning path — the.rptdesignupload that exists is BIRT-only. So the renderer is not reachable on a stock deployment.This is a defence-in-depth / parity fix for deployments that install the engine (their own build or
plugin), and it is what keeps a future Pentaho provisioning path from inheriting the un-sandboxed sink.
