Summary

The Athena module in AWS SDK for pandas (awswrangler) before 3.16.1 did not verify ownership of the default query result location, potentially allowing remote actors to read Athena query results and tamper with result sets returned to the caller via a pre-created S3 bucket. The issue is fixed in version 3.16.1.

Risk Assessment

An attacker could access or tamper with Athena query results, leading to data leakage or decisions based on modified results. The risk applies to environments where the default result bucket is not controlled by the organization.

Recommendation

Upgrade awswrangler to version 3.16.1 or later. Verify that the default Athena result bucket in each account and region is owned by your organization, and set an explicit result location or enforce a workgroup result configuration.

Original NVD description (English source)

Unverified ownership of the default query result location in the Athena module in AWS SDK for pandas (awswrangler) before 3.16.1 might allow remote actors to read Athena query results and tamper with result sets returned to the caller via a pre-created S3 bucket.  To remediate this issue, users should upgrade to version 3.16.1 or later. Users should also verify that the default Athena result bucket in each account and region is owned by their own account, and set an explicit result location or enforce a workgroup result configuration.
