How to Fix GHSA-5c6q-f783-h888

To remediate this vulnerability, upgrade all affected Duplicate Advisory dependencies to a patched release. Both direct and transitive dependencies should be checked, as frameworks or security libraries may pull in vulnerable versions transitively.

com.amazon.redshift:redshift-jdbc42 fixed: 2.1.0.8 
<dependency>
    <groupId>com.amazon.redshift</groupId>
    <artifactId>redshift-jdbc42</artifactId>
    <version>2.1.0.8</version>
</dependency>
Verify Direct and Transitive Dependencies

Run the following command in your project directory to verify that all resolved dependencies use the patched release: 

mvn dependency:tree -Dincludes=com.amazon.redshift

How to Check if You Are Affected

To determine whether your Java application is affected by GHSA-5c6q-f783-h888, inspect your build dependencies using the Maven Dependency Plugin:

mvn dependency:tree -Dincludes=com.amazon.redshift

Analyze the terminal output to locate any version of Duplicate Advisory in your dependency tree. If any resolved version matches the vulnerable ranges listed in the table below (for example, versions earlier than 2.1.0.8), your application is affected.

Note: The mvn dependency:tree -Dincludes=com.amazon.redshift command inspects the resolved dependency graph declared in your project's POM files; it does not perform automated security scanning or inspect runtime dynamic classpaths. Always verify runtime container classpaths and shaded JARs.

Technical Details

Vulnerability Mechanism & Technical Analysis

This vulnerability is classified under CWE-704: Incorrect Type Conversion or Cast, where the product does not correctly convert an object, resource, or structure from one type to a different type. In Duplicate Advisory, software state validation or input boundaries are circumvented during processing. Review the official source advisory statement below for specific affected components, classes, and reproduction details.

Source Advisory Statement

## Duplicate Advisory This advisory has been withdrawn because it is a duplicate of GHSA-jc69-hjw2-fm86. This link is maintained to preserve external references. ## Original Description In Amazon AWS Redshift JDBC Driver (aka amazon-redshift-jdbc-driver or redshift-jdbc42) before 2.1.0.8, the Object Factory does not check the class type when instantiating an object from a class name. This issue has been fixed in version 2.1.0.8.
