| N/A | CVE-2022-41852 Those using JXPath to interpret untrusted XPath expressions may be vulnerable to a remote code execution attack. All JXPathContext class functions processing a XPath string are vulnerable except compile() and compilePath() function. The XPath expression can be used by an attacker to load any Java class from the classpath resulting in code execution. Published Thursday, October 6, 2022 |
| N/A | CVE-2022-41853 Those using java.sql.Statement or java.sql.PreparedStatement in hsqldb (HyperSQL DataBase) to process untrusted input may be vulnerable to a remote code execution attack. By default it is allowed to call any static method of any Java class in the classpath resulting in code execution. The issue can be prevented by updating to 2.7.1 or by setting the system property "hsqldb.method_class_names" to classes which are allowed to be called. For example, System.setProperty("hsqldb.method_class_names", "abc") or Java argument -Dhsqldb.method_class_names="abc" can be used. From version 2.7.1 all classes by default are not accessible except those in java.lang.Math and need to be manually enabled. Published Thursday, October 6, 2022 |
