GHSA-jc69-hjw2-fm86 com.amazon.redshift:redshift-jdbc42 vulnerable to remote command execution

• Maven com.amazon.redshift:redshift-jdbc42: < 2.1.0.8 → fixed in 2.1.0.8

Impact A potential remote command execution issue exists within `redshift-jdbc42` versions 2.1.0.7 and below. When plugins are used with the driver, it instantiates plugin instances based on Java class names provided via the `sslhostnameverifier`, `socketFactory`, `sslfactory`, and `sslpasswordcallback` connection properties. In affected versions, the driver does not verify if a plugin class implements the expected interface before instantiatiaton. This can lead to loading of arbitrary Java classes, which a knowledgeable attacker with control over the JDBC URL can use to achieve remote code execution. Patches This issue is patched within `redshift-jdbc-42` 2.1.0.8 and above. Workarounds We advise customers using plugins to upgrade to `redshift-jdbc42` version 2.1.0.8 or above. There are no known workarounds for this issue. For more information If you have any questions or comments about this advisory, please contact AWS Security at [email protected].
