NVD · unedited
insightsoftware Hive JDBC through 2.6.13 has a remote code execution vulnerability. Attackers can inject malicious parameters into the JDBC URL, triggering JNDI injection during the process when the JDBC Driver uses this URL to connect to the database. This can further lead to remote code execution.

Technical summary Written by usOur analysis, written from the advisory, the CVSS vector and the affected-version data. It adds context the advisory leaves out, and never invents facts that are not in the source.

dbcve analysis · moderate confidence

The Hive JDBC driver through version 2.6.13 is vulnerable to JNDI injection via malicious parameters embedded in JDBC connection URLs. When the driver parses and uses these crafted URLs to establish database connections, it performs unsafe JNDI lookups that can be abused to achieve remote code execution.

MitigationUpgrade the Hive JDBC driver to a patched version once released. As a temporary mitigation, restrict JDBC URL input sources and disable JNDI lookup features in the JVM via com.sun.jndi.ldap.object.trustURLCodebase and related properties.

Am I affected? How to checkSteps we derive from the advisory and the affected-version data, so you can decide whether this CVE reaches your setup. They are a guide, not a scan — your own configuration is the authority.

dbcve checks

Work through these to decide whether this CVE applies to you.

  1. Identify Hive JDBC driver presence
    Search your application's classpath, build files (pom.xml, build.gradle), lib directories, or dependency management systems for the Hive JDBC driver (hive-jdbc or hive-jdbc-*.jar)
    Affected if The Hive JDBC driver JAR file is found in your environment
  2. Determine installed driver version
    Inspect the JAR file metadata or check your dependency management files for the exact version number of the hive-jdbc artifact
    Affected if The version is 2.6.13 or any earlier version (e.g., 2.6.12, 2.6.0, 1.x)
  3. Audit JDBC URL input sources
    Review your application code and configuration to identify where Hive JDBC connection URLs originate - examine database connection configuration, user input handling, API endpoints, or external configuration files that supply JDBC URL parameters
    Affected if JDBC connection URLs are accepted from untrusted or external sources without validation
  4. Inspect active JDBC connection strings
    Review your application logs, connection pool configurations, or runtime environment variables for Hive JDBC connection strings; look for patterns containing ldap:, rmi:, or dns: in URL parameters
    Affected if Active or logged JDBC URLs contain JNDI-related protocols (ldap, rmi, dns) in parameter values
  5. Check JVM security settings
    Inspect your JVM startup arguments or security policy files for the presence and state of com.sun.jndi.ldap.object.trustURLCodebase and related JNDI security properties
    Affected if These JNDI security properties are not set to false or are absent from the JVM configuration

You are affected if you have the Hive JDBC driver version 2.6.13 or earlier in use and your application processes JDBC connection URLs from any source that could contain crafted JNDI injection payloads.

Generated from the published advisory. Verify against your own configuration.

Mitigation

Upgrade the Hive JDBC driver to a patched version once released. As a temporary mitigation, restrict JDBC URL input sources and disable JNDI lookup features in the JVM via com.sun.jndi.ldap.object.trustURLCodebase and related properties.
