Which packages are affected by CVE-2017-12625?

CVE-2017-12625 affects the following packages: org.apache.hive:hive (Maven), org.apache.hive:hive (Maven), org.apache.hive:hive (Maven), org.apache.hive:hive-exec (Maven), org.apache.hive:hive-exec (Maven), org.apache.hive:hive-exec (Maven), org.apache.hive:hive-service (Maven), org.apache.hive:hive-service (Maven), and 1 more. Ecosystems affected: Maven.

How do I fix CVE-2017-12625?

Update org.apache.hive:hive to 2.1.2 or later, then make sure no transitive (indirect) dependency still pins the vulnerable range — O3 confirms CVE-2017-12625 is resolved across your whole dependency graph.

How do I detect CVE-2017-12625 in my Maven dependencies?

Scan your dependency tree (package-lock.json, pnpm-lock.yaml, requirements.txt, go.sum, etc.) for org.apache.hive:hive, including transitive dependencies — a direct dependency you never call can still pull in a vulnerable version.

How do I mitigate CVE-2017-12625 if there is no patch (or I can't update yet)?

Assume what was exposed is already known: rotate any credential, token or key that the affected component could return, restrict the endpoint to callers that genuinely need it, and strip sensitive fields from responses and error output at the boundary rather than relying on the client not to read them.

Is CVE-2017-12625 actively exploited in the wild?

No public exploit code has been indexed for CVE-2017-12625 yet. This does not mean the vulnerability cannot be exploited — absence of public exploits does not imply safety. Apply the recommended fix and use O3 Security to monitor your exposure.

What is the EPSS score for CVE-2017-12625?

CVE-2017-12625 has an EPSS (Exploit Prediction Scoring System) score of 1.4%, placing it in the 73th percentile of all CVEs. EPSS is maintained by FIRST.org and estimates the probability that a vulnerability will be exploited in the wild within the next 30 days. This score indicates relatively lower exploitation probability, though the CVSS severity should still guide your patching priority.

What type of vulnerability is CVE-2017-12625?

CVE-2017-12625 is classified as Information Exposure (CWE-200). This weakness type describe the underlying flaw category, which helps determine the potential impact and the right class of mitigation.

Description

Apache Hive 2.1.x before 2.1.2, 2.2.x before 2.2.1, and 2.3.x before 2.3.1 expose an interface through which masking policies can be defined on tables or views, e.g., using Apache Ranger. When a view is created over a given table, the policy enforcement does not happen correctly on the table for masked columns.
