Official description Straight from the sourceThe vendor's or NVD's own wording, published unedited. Authoritative, but often terse — it says what broke, rarely what to do.

NVD · unedited
Improper Control of Generation of Code ('Code Injection') vulnerability in Progress DataDirect Connect for JDBC drivers, Progress DataDirect Open Access JDBC driver and Hybrid Data Pipeline allows Remote Code Inclusion. The SpyAttribute connection option implemented by the DataDirect Connect for JDBC drivers, DataDirect Hybrid Data Pipeline JDBC driver and the DataDirect OpenAccess JDBC driver log=(file) construct allows the user to specify an arbitrary file for the JDBC driver to write its log information to.  If an application allows an end user to specify a value for the SpyAttributes connection option then an attacker could cause java script to be written to a log file.  If the log file was in the correct location with the correct extension, an application server could see that log file as a resource to be served.  The attacker could fetch the resource from the server causing the java script to be executed.

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 · high confidence

Code injection vulnerability in DataDirect JDBC drivers allows attackers to inject JavaScript into log files via the SpyAttributes connection option's log=(file) construct. If the log file is placed in a web-accessible location with an appropriate extension, the application server may serve it as a static resource, enabling the injected script to execute when accessed.

MitigationUpgrade to fixed driver versions listed for each product. If upgrading is not immediately possible, strictly validate/restrict user input to the SpyAttributes connection option and ensure log files are not written to web-accessible directories.

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 DataDirect JDBC driver installation
    Locate DataDirect JDBC driver JAR files in your application classpath or lib directory. Common file patterns: data_direct*.jar, oracle12*.jar (when using DataDirect Oracle driver), or check application dependencies via build files (pom.xml, package.json, etc.)
    Affected if DataDirect JDBC drivers are present in the application
  2. Determine DataDirect driver version
    Inspect the JAR file metadata: run 'java -jar <driver_jar_file>.jar -version' or check MANIFEST.MF inside the JAR for Implementation-Version or Specification-Version attributes. Compare against any vendor-provided version documentation.
    Affected if Unable to confirm the driver is at a fixed version per vendor release notes
  3. Inspect SpyAttributes connection configuration
    Review application configuration files (XML, properties, YAML), connection pool settings, or datasource definitions for 'SpyAttributes' or 'spyattributes' connection property. Specifically look for 'log=' parameter syntax such as log=(filename) or log:C:\path\to\file.log
    Affected if SpyAttributes is configured with a log= parameter pointing to a file path
  4. Verify log file location and accessibility
    Locate the actual log file path specified in the SpyAttributes configuration. Check if this path is within the web application's document root, public web folder, or any directory served statically by the application server (e.g., webapps, www, htdocs, static resources folder).
    Affected if Log file path resolves to a web-accessible directory AND the file has an executable extension such as .js, .html, .htm, or .jsp
  5. Confirm log file contains untrusted input
    Open the actual log file and examine its contents. Search for patterns indicating JavaScript injection: <script tags, javascript:, onload/onerror event handlers, or encoded script content. Correlate timestamps with application access logs to identify if untrusted user data flows into the SpyAttributes parameter.
    Affected if Log file contains any JavaScript code or suspicious script-like content that was not intentionally written by administrators

Your environment is affected if DataDirect JDBC drivers with SpyAttributes log= configuration write to a web-accessible location, allowing potential execution of injected scripts when the log file is accessed via HTTP.

Mitigation available No clean upgrade yet — mitigate in the meantime
Mitigation

Upgrade to fixed driver versions listed for each product. If upgrading is not immediately possible, strictly validate/restrict user input to the SpyAttributes connection option and ensure log files are not written to web-accessible directories.

Recommended fix High confidence

Upgrade to the specific fixed version listed: DataDirect Connect for JDBC drivers (e.g., Amazon Redshift 6.0.0.001541, Oracle Database 6.0.0.001776, SQL Server 6.0.0.001957, etc.), Hybrid Data Pipeline 4.6.2.3430 (server/docker) or 4.6.2.1023 (JDBC driver), OpenAccess JDBC Driver 8.1.0.0183 or 9.0.0

  1. 1. Identify which Progress DataDirect Connect for JDBC driver, Hybrid Data Pipeline, or OpenAccess JDBC driver is in use in your environment
  2. 2. Check the currently installed version of the affected component
  3. 3. Consult the fixed versions list to determine the appropriate upgrade target for your specific product
  4. 4. Obtain the fixed version from Progress Software and upgrade the affected component
  5. 5. Verify that the SpyAttribute connection option cannot be user-controlled in your application configuration
  6. 6. Ensure log files written by the driver are not placed in web-accessible directories
