CVE-2024-55551 [High] | RCE in Jdbc Driver

An issue was discovered in Exasol JDBC driver before 24.2.1 (2024-12-10). Attackers can inject malicious parameters into the JDBC URL, triggering JNDI injection during the process when the JDBC Driver uses this URL to connect to the database. This can further lead to remote code execution.
