CVE-2026-35558
highImproper neutralization of special elements in the authentication components in Amazon Athena ODBC driver before 2.1.0.0 might allow a threat actor to execute arbitrary code or redirect authentication flows by using specially crafted connection parameters that are processed by the driver during user-initiated authentication. To remediate this issue, users should upgrade to version 2.1.0.0.

Attack Vector
Local
Attack Vector (AV:L): requires local access. attacker must have shell access or physical login.
Attack Complexity
Low
Attack Complexity (AC:L): no special conditions needed. attack can be reliably reproduced.
Privileges Required
None
Privileges Required (PR:N): no authentication needed. any anonymous attacker can exploit this.
User Interaction
Required
User Interaction (UI:R): victim must perform some action (e.g. clicking a link, opening a file).
