CVE-2022-36364: Apache Calcite Avatica JDBC driver `httpclient_impl` connection property can be used as an RCE vector

Apache Calcite Avatica JDBC driver creates HTTP client instances based on class names provided via `httpclient_impl` connection property; however, the driver does not verify if the class implements the expected interface before instantiating it, which can lead to code execution loaded via arbitrary classes and in rare cases remote code execution. To exploit the vulnerability: 1) the attacker needs to have privileges to control JDBC connection parameters; 2) and there should be a vulnerable class (constructor with URL parameter and ability to execute code) in the classpath. From Apache Calcite Avatica 1.22.0 onwards, it will be verified that the class implements the expected interface before invoking its constructor.

Security readout for executives and security teams

Apache Calcite Avatica’s JDBC driver could instantiate a class named in a connection property without first confirming it was the expected HTTP client type. In unusual but important conditions, this can become code execution. The issue is most concerning where users or attackers can influence JDBC connection settings. Exposure is likely limited to applications using Apache Calcite Avatica JDBC driver versions before 1.22.0, especially where connection properties are externally supplied, user-controlled, or managed by lower-trust operators. Treat as a moderate-priority dependency risk. Prioritize systems where database connection settings are user-supplied, tenant-controlled, or handled by semi-trusted administrators. Patch during the next controlled release unless such exposure exists, in which case accelerate remediation. Mitigation focus: Upgrade Apache Calcite Avatica to 1.22.0 or later.; Restrict who can set JDBC connection strings and properties.; Remove untrusted input paths into JDBC connection configuration..
