The Big SQL component in IBM InfoSphere BigInsights 3.0 through 3.0.0.2 allows remote authenticated users to bypass intended HDFS data-access restrictions via (1) a crafted CREATE HADOOP TABLE statement referencing the data of an arbitrary user or (2) an import of a certain Hive table definition with the HCAT_SYNC_OBJECTS procedure.
Improper Neutralization of Special Elements used in an SQL Command The product constructs all or part of an SQL command using externally-influenced input from an upstream component, but it does not neutralize or incorrectly neutralizes special elements that could modify the intended SQL command when it is sent to a downstream component. Without sufficient removal or quoting of SQL syntax in user-controllable inputs, the generated SQL query can cause those inputs to be interpreted as SQL instead of ordinary user data.
