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.
The vulnerability can be exploited over the network without needing physical access. It is easy for an attacker to exploit this vulnerability. An attacker needs basic access or low-level privileges. No user interaction is needed for the attacker to exploit this vulnerability. The vulnerability can affect other systems as well, not just the initial system. There is a high impact on the confidentiality of the information.
Exploitation activity has been observed. Apply available patches or mitigations urgently.
The exploit probability is very low. The vulnerability is unlikely to be exploited in the next 30 days.
We did not find any exploit available. Neither in GitHub repositories nor in the Exploit-Database.
