H2O-3 is Vulnerable to Code Injection

GHSA-qmcv-hh7c-3m56 · CVE-2026-3960

Published · Modified

Description

A critical remote code execution vulnerability exists in the unauthenticated REST API endpoint /99/ImportSQLTable in H2O-3 version 3.46.0.9 and prior. The vulnerability arises due to insufficient security controls in the parameter blacklist mechanism, which only targets MySQL JDBC driver-specific dangerous parameters. An attacker can bypass these controls by switching the JDBC URL protocol to jdbc:postgresql: and exploiting PostgreSQL JDBC driver-specific parameters such as socketFactory and socketFactoryArg. This allows unauthenticated attackers to execute arbitrary code on the H2O-3 server with the privileges of the H2O-3 process. The issue is resolved in version 3.46.0.10.
