Code execution via untrusted Avro class instantiation
Published Apr 1, 2025 · Updated Feb 26, 2026
Unsafe deserialization in Apache Parquet Java 1.15.0 and earlier allows remote attackers to execute code through crafted Parquet files. The parquet-avro AvroConverters path trusts a schema field's java-class property, loads the named class, and invokes its String constructor during record conversion. Exploitation requires an application to ingest an attacker-controlled file with parquet-avro and a usable class with constructor side effects on its classpath.

Exploitability
Present is not the same as exploitable
Compare your product and version with the public record. A matching version still requires validation against your environment.
Is a vulnerable build present?
Compare these published version ranges with your installed build and any vendor patches.
