Severity: moderate
Affected versions:
- Apache Hive 4.0.0-alpha-1 before 4.0.0
Description:
Improper Control of Generation of Code ('Code Injection') vulnerability in
Apache Hive.
The vulnerability affects the Hive JDBC driver component and it can potentially
lead to arbitrary code execution on the machine/endpoint that the JDBC driver
(client) is running. The malicious user must have sufficient permissions to
specify/edit JDBC URL(s) in an endpoint relying on the Hive JDBC driver and the
JDBC client process must run under a privileged user to fully exploit the
vulnerability.
The attacker can setup a malicious HTTP server and specify a JDBC URL pointing
towards this server. When a JDBC connection is attempted, the malicious HTTP
server can provide a special response with customized payload that can trigger
the execution of certain commands in the JDBC client.This issue affects Apache
Hive: from 4.0.0-alpha-1 before 4.0.0.
Users are recommended to upgrade to version 4.0.0, which fixes the issue.
This issue is being tracked as HIVE-27554
