------------------------------------

             Summary: beam-sdks-java-io-hcatalog and beam-sdks-java-extensions-sql-hcatalog are vulnerable to CVE-2021-44228
                 Key: BEAM-13499
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/BEAM-13499
             Project: Beam
          Issue Type: Bug
          Components: dsl-sql, io-java-hcatalog
    Affects Versions: 2.34.0, 2.33.0, 2.32.0, 2.31.0, 2.35.0
            Reporter: Brian Hulette


beam-sdks-java-io-hcatalog (and beam-sdks-java-extensions-sql-hcatalog, transitively) declare a *Provided* dependency on org.apache.hive:hive-exec. Users are expected to include a version of those libraries on their classpath when using these Beam artifacts.

However, at this time Hive has not yet made a release that bumps its log4j dependency >= 2.16.0 for CVE-2021-44228. This is ready for Hive 4.0 (HIVE-25795), whenever it is released. Ideally for Beam it would be backported to 2.x (HIVE-25824) as well.

In the meantime, *users of beam-sdks-java-io-hcatalog (and beam-sdks-java-extensions-sql-hcatalog) should take care to override the transitive log4j dependency when they add a hive dependency*. See https://blog.gradle.org/log4j-vulnerability for advice on how to safely configure a gradle build.
