Summary
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.
Risk Assessment
The risk includes unauthorized access to data stored in Amazon Athena, potentially leading to data confidentiality and integrity breaches.
Recommendation
Upgrade the Amazon Athena ODBC driver to version 2.1.0.0 or later, which addresses this vulnerability.
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
