Amazon JDBC Driver for Redshift SQL Injection via line comment generation

Published: 5/15/2024Modified: 2/4/2026

Description

### Impact SQL injection is possible when using the non-default connection property `preferQueryMode=simple` in combination with application code which has a vulnerable SQL that negates a parameter value. There is no vulnerability in the driver when using the default, extended query mode. Note that `preferQueryMode` is not a supported parameter in Redshift JDBC driver, and is inherited code from Postgres JDBC driver. Users who do not override default settings to utilize this unsupported query mode are not affected. ### Patch This issue is patched in driver version 2.1.0.28. ### Workarounds Do not use the connection property `preferQueryMode=simple`. (NOTE: If you do not explicitly specify a query mode, then you are using the default of extended query mode and are not affected by this issue.) ### References Similar to finding in Postgres JDBC: https://github.com/pgjdbc/pgjdbc/security/advisories/GHSA-24rp-q3w6-vc56 If you have any questions or comments about this advisory, we ask that you contact AWS Security via our [vulnerability reporting page](https://aws.amazon.com/security/vulnerability-reporting) or directly via email to [[email protected]](mailto:[email protected]). Please do not create a public GitHub issue.
