SCA: security update for org.apache.flink:flink-table-api-java, org.apache.flink:flink-table-planner_2.12, org.apache.flink:flink-table-runtime (GHSA-2f54-v4hm-fx73)

high Tenable Self-Hosted Container Security Plugin ID 442325

Description

There are packages installed that are affected by a vulnerability referenced in the following CVE:

 - Code injection in SQL code generation in Apache Flink 1.15.0 through 1.20.x and 2.0.0 through 2.x allows
 authenticated users with query submission privileges to execute arbitrary code on TaskManagers via
 maliciously crafted SQL queries. The vulnerability affects JSON functions (1.15.0+) and LIKE expressions
 with ESCAPE clauses (1.17.0+). User-controlled strings are interpolated into generated Java code without
 proper escaping, allowing attackers to break out of string literals and inject arbitrary expressions.
 Users are recommended to upgrade to either version 1.20.4, 2.0.2, 2.1.2 or 2.2.1, which fixes this issue.
 (CVE-2026-35194)

Solution

Update the org.apache.flink:flink-table-api-java library and its related packages to version 1.20.4 or later.
