Deserialization of Untrusted Data in Apache Parquet Java - CVE-2025-30065
Published: April 4, 2025 / Updated: July 18, 2025
Vulnerability details
The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to execute arbitrary code on the target system.
The vulnerability exists due to insecure input validation when processing serialized data within the parquet-avro module when parsing an Avro schema from a Parquet file metadata. A remote attacker can pass specially crafted data to the application and execute arbitrary code on the target system.
Successful exploitation of this vulnerability may result in complete compromise of vulnerable system.
