NewCVE-2025-62728 (opens in a new tab)How to fix?
Upgrade org.apache.hive:hive-standalone-metastore-server to version 4.2.0 or higher.
Overview
Affected versions of this package are vulnerable to SQL Injection via the processing of delete column statistics requests through the HMS Thrift APIs. An attacker can execute arbitrary SQL commands by sending specially crafted requests to the affected API endpoints. This is only exploitable if the attacker is a trusted or authorized user/application with direct access to the Thrift APIs, and if the metastore.try.direct.sql property is set to true.
Workaround
This vulnerability can be mitigated by setting the metastore.try.direct.sql property to false.
