Descriptions
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.
Aquellos que usan los archivos java.sql.Statement o java.sql.PreparedStatement en hsqldb (HyperSQL DataBase) para procesar entradas no confiables pueden ser vulnerables a un ataque de ejecución de código remota. Por defecto es permitido llamar a cualquier método estático de cualquier clase Java en el classpath, resultando en una ejecución de código. El problema puede evitarse al actualizar a versión 2.7.1 o al establecer la propiedad del sistema "hsqldb.method_class_names" a las clases a las que sea permitido llamar. Por ejemplo, puede usarse System.setProperty("hsqldb.method_class_names", "abc") o el argumento de Java -Dhsqldb.method_class_names="abc". A partir de la versión 2.7.1 todas las clases por defecto no son accesibles excepto las de java.lang.Math y deben ser habilitadas manualmente
A flaw was found in the HSQLDB package. This flaw allows untrusted inputs to execute remote code due to any static method of any Java class in the classpath, resulting in code execution by default.
