CVE-2026-35560
HighCVSS 7.4Exploitation Probability (EPSS)
Low risk18th percentile - higher than 18% of all known CVEs
Summary
The Amazon Athena ODBC driver before version 2.1.0.0 improperly validates certificates when connecting to external identity providers, allowing a man-in-the-middle attacker to intercept credentials. This does not affect connections to Athena.
Risk Assessment
An attacker on the network can intercept login credentials for external identity providers, potentially leading to unauthorized access.
Recommendation
Update the ODBC driver to version 2.1.0.0 or later.
Other vulnerabilities in Amazon Athena ODBC driver
See all- CVE-2026-5485High
The Amazon Athena ODBC driver before version 2.0.5.1 on Linux contains an OS command injection vulnerability in the browser-based authentication component. An attacker can use specially crafted connection parameters loaded by the driver during a local user-initiated connection to execute arbitrary code.
- CVE-2026-35562High
The Amazon Athena ODBC driver before version 2.1.0.0 lacks resource limits during parsing. Crafted input can cause excessive resource consumption and denial of service (DoS).
- CVE-2026-35561High
Insufficient authentication security controls in the browser-based authentication components in Amazon Athena ODBC driver before 2.1.0.0 might allow a threat actor to intercept or hijack authentication sessions due to insufficient protections in the browser-based authentication flows.
- CVE-2026-35559Medium
The Amazon Athena ODBC driver before version 2.1.0.0 contains an out-of-bounds write vulnerability in query processing components. Specially crafted data can crash the driver during query operations.
- CVE-2026-35558High
The Amazon Athena ODBC driver before version 2.1.0.0 improperly neutralizes special elements in authentication components. An attacker can use crafted connection parameters to execute arbitrary code or redirect authentication flows.
Original NVD description (English source)
Improper certificate validation in the identity provider connection components in Amazon Athena ODBC driver before 2.1.0.0 might allow a man-in-the-middle threat actor to intercept authentication credentials due to insufficient default transport security when connecting to identity providers. This only applies to connections with external identity providers and does not apply to connections with Athena. To remediate this issue, users should upgrade to version 2.1.0.0.
