Title
SQL injection in Amazon Athena Synapse connector
Summary
Amazon Athena is a serverless, interactive query service that lets you analyze data directly in Amazon S3 using standard SQL. Athena Query Federation is a feature that allows you to connect to data sources outside of Amazon S3 like DynamoDB, Azure Synapse, and custom connectors using standard SQL syntax.
Improper neutralization of special elements used in an SQL command in the Synapse connector in Amazon aws-athena-query-federation v2022.20.1 through v2026.19.1 might allow an authenticated remote user to execute injected read-only SQL queries that return unintended data from the connected database via a crafted table name.
To remediate this issue, users should upgrade to version v2026.21.1 or later.

The MITRE ATT&CK techniques below are AI-generated suggestions, inferred from the description of the
vulnerability by the CIRCL/vulnerability-attack-technique-classification-roberta-base
model, served locally by ML-Gateway.
They have not been verified by an analyst and are provided for guidance only.
The approach is described in our paper Mapping CVEs to MITRE ATT&CK Techniques: A Curated Gold-Set Classifier and the Limits of LLM-Assisted Label Expansion.
