CVE-2025-10703 — Improper Control of Generation of Code ('Code Injection') vulnerability in Progress DataDirect Connect for JDBC drivers, Progress...

High CVSS 8.6

Improper Control of Generation of Code ('Code Injection') vulnerability in Progress DataDirect Connect for JDBC drivers, Progress DataDirect Open Access JDBC driver and Hybrid Data Pipeline allows Remote Code Inclusion. The SpyAttribute connection option implemented by the DataDirect Connect for JDBC drivers, DataDirect Hybrid Data Pipeline JDBC driver and the DataDirect OpenAccess JDBC driver log=(file) construct allows the user to specify an arbitrary file for the JDBC driver to write its log information to. If an application allows an end user to specify a value for the SpyAttributes connection option then an attacker could cause java script to be written to a log file. If the log file was in the correct location with the correct extension, an application server could see that log file as a resource to be served. The attacker could fetch the resource from the server causing the java script to be executed. This issue affects: DataDirect Connect for JDBC for Amazon Redshift: through 6.0.0.001392, fixed in 6.0.0.001541 DataDirect Connect for JDBC for Apache Cassandra: through 6.0.0.000805, fixed in 6.0.0.000833 DataDirect Connect for JDBC for Hive: through 6.0.1.001499, fixed in 6…

Matched remediation archetype

Command, code, expression, and template injection

This catalog composition supplies bounded fallback guidance. Explicitly reviewed curated workflows load with the complete record below.

Check exposure

  • Trace untrusted values to process execution, interpreters, evaluators, template engines, dynamic imports, and administrative scripting features.
  • Determine whether the affected path is reachable across each trust boundary and which service account or host privilege it inherits.
  • Review configuration for optional execution features, unsafe compatibility modes, and shell invocation.

Remediate safely

  • Replace string-built commands or evaluated code with fixed operations and structured argument APIs that do not invoke a shell.
  • Use strict allowlists for operation identifiers and reject unexpected input before it reaches any interpreter.
  • Update the affected component and add inert regression tests covering metacharacters, encoding variants, and alternate request paths.
