CyberRota Analysis
AI-GeneratedAmazon Athena's Query Federation feature is vulnerable due to improper handling of special SQL elements in the Synapse connector, allowing authenticated users to execute crafted read-only SQL queries that can retrieve unintended data from connected databases. Organizations utilizing this feature, particularly those integrating with external data sources like Azure Synapse, should prioritize upgrading to version v2026.21.1 or later to mitigate the risk of unauthorized data exposure.

Original NVD Description
Amazon Athena is a serverless, interactive query service that lets you analyze data directly in Amazon S3 using standard SQL. Athena Query Federation is a feature that allows you to connect to data sources outside of Amazon S3 like DynamoDB, Azure Synapse, and custom connectors using standard SQL syntax. Improper neutralization of special elements used in an SQL command in the Synapse connector in Amazon aws-athena-query-federation v2022.20.1 through v2026.19.1 might allow an authenticated remote user to execute injected read-only SQL queries that return unintended data from the connected database via a crafted table name. To remediate this issue, users should upgrade to version v2026.21.1 or later.
