Security Bulletin
This security bulletin contains information about 2 vulnerabilities.
1) XXE attack
EUVDB-ID: #VU11626
Risk: Low
CVSSv4.0: 2.7 [CVSS:4.0/AV:N/AC:L/AT:N/PR:N/UI:N/VC:L/VI:N/VA:N/SC:N/SI:N/SA:N/E:U/U:Clear]
CVE-ID: CVE-2018-1284
CWE-ID:
CWE-611 - Improper Restriction of XML External Entity Reference ('XXE')
Exploit availability: No
DescriptionThe vulnerability allows a remote unauthenticated attacker to conduct XXE attack on the target system.
The weakness exists due to improper processing of XML input by multiple xpath UDFs when the affected software is configured to run HiveServer2 when the hive.server2.enable.doAs parameter is set to false. A remote attacker can submit customized XML input and gain access to potentially sensitive file information.
MitigationUpdate to version 2.3.3.
Vulnerable software versionsApache Hive: 0.6.0 - 2.3.2

Q & A
Can this vulnerability be exploited remotely?
Yes. This vulnerability can be exploited by a remote non-authenticated attacker via the Internet.
How the attacker can exploit this vulnerability?
The attacker would have to send a specially crafted request to the affected application in order to exploit this vulnerability.
Is there known malware, which exploits this vulnerability?
No. We are not aware of malware exploiting this vulnerability.
2) SQL injection
EUVDB-ID: #VU11627
Risk: Low
CVSSv4.0: 2.7 [CVSS:4.0/AV:N/AC:L/AT:N/PR:N/UI:N/VC:L/VI:L/VA:L/SC:N/SI:N/SA:N/E:U/U:Clear]
CVE-ID: CVE-2018-1282
CWE-ID:
CWE-89 - Improper Neutralization of Special Elements used in an SQL Command ('SQL Injection')
Exploit availability: No
DescriptionThe vulnerability allows a remote attacker to bypass security restriction and execute arbitrary SQL commands in web application database.
The weakness exists due to insufficient sanitization of user-supplied data. A remote attacker can send a specially crafted HTTP request to vulnerable script, bypass the argument escaping and cleanup functionality that the JDBC driver performs in the PreparedStatement implementation and execute arbitrary SQL commands in web application database.
Successful exploitation of the vulnerability may allow an attacker to gain administrative access to vulnerable web application.
