HIGHTrino: Iceberg REST catalog static and vended credentials are accessible via query JSON
EPSS Exploitation Probability
EPSS (Exploit Prediction Scoring System) is a daily probability model maintained by FIRST.org. It estimates the likelihood a CVE will be exploited in production environments within the next 30 days, derived from real-world threat intelligence signals.

Description
Summary
Iceberg connector REST catalog static credentials (access key) or vended credentials (temporary access key) are accessible to users that have write privilege on SQL level.
Details
Iceberg REST catalog typically needs access to object storage. This access can be configured in multiple different ways. When storage access is achieved by static credentials (e.g. AWS S3 access key) or vended credentials (temporary access key).
Query JSON is a query visualization and performance troubleshooting facility. It includes serialized query plan and handles for table writes or execution of table procedures. A user that submitted a query has access to query JSON for their query. Query JSON is available from Trino UI or via /ui/api/query/«query_id» and /v1/query/«query_id» endpoints.
The storage credentials are stored in those handles when performing write operations, or table maintenance operations. They are serialized in query JSON. A user with write access to data in Iceberg connector configured to use REST Catalog with static or vended credentials can retrieve those credentials.
Impact
Anyone using Iceberg REST catalog with static or vended credentials is impacted. The credentials should be considered compromised. Vended credentials are temporary in nature so they do not need to be rotated. However, underlying data could have been exposed.

Detection & mitigation playbook
Open-source dependencyDetect
Scan your dependency tree (package-lock.json, pnpm-lock.yaml, requirements.txt, go.sum, etc.) for io.trino:trino-iceberg. O3's reachability analysis confirms whether the vulnerable code path is actually invoked in your application, so you act on real exposure instead of every transitive match.
Fix
Update io.trino:trino-iceberg to 480 or later, then make sure no transitive (indirect) dependency still pins the vulnerable range — O3 confirms GHSA-x27p-5f68-m644 is resolved across your whole dependency graph.
Workarounds
If you can't upgrade right away: gate or disable the affected feature, validate untrusted input at the boundary, and avoid passing attacker-controlled data into the vulnerable path. O3's runtime protection blocks exploitation in production as an interim safeguard until the upgrade lands.
How O3 protects you
O3 pinpoints whether GHSA-x27p-5f68-m644 is reachable in your code and exactly where to fix it, then blocks exploitation in production at runtime until the patched version is deployed.
Tailored to GHSA-x27p-5f68-m644. Runtime protection reduces exposure until a permanent patch is applied and verified — it complements patching, it doesn't replace it.
Frequently Asked Questions
Is GHSA-x27p-5f68-m644 in your dependencies?
O3 detects GHSA-x27p-5f68-m644 across Maven dependencies and uses function-level reachability to confirm whether the vulnerable code path is actually reachable — not just present. No false positives.
