What an attacker can do

Unauthenticated attackers can inject arbitrary SQL by exploiting improper quote-escaping in DefaultParameterFormatter.format(), which routes DELETE and CTAS statements to the _escape_hive function that backslash-escapes single quotes rather than doubling them. Vendor/CNA’s CVSS 4.0 assessment (base score 9.3/10) rates confidentiality, integrity and availability impact as high.
