CVE-2025-5662

A deserialization vulnerability exists in the H2O-3 REST API (POST /99/ImportSQLTable) that affects all versions up to 3.46.0.7. This vulnerability allows remote code execution (RCE) due to improper validation of JDBC connection parameters when using a Key-Value format. The vulnerability is present in the MySQL JDBC Driver version 8.0.19 and JDK version 8u112. The issue is resolved in version 3.46.0.8.

Weakness

The product deserializes untrusted data without sufficiently ensuring that the resulting data will be valid.

Potential Mitigations

• Make fields transient to protect them from deserialization.
• An attempt to serialize and then deserialize a class containing transient fields will result in NULLs where the transient data should be. This is an excellent way to prevent time, environment-based, or sensitive variables from being carried over and used improperly.
