Schema parsing in the parquet-avro module of Apache Parquet 1.15.0 and previous versions allows bad actors to execute arbitrary code
Users are recommended to upgrade to version 1.15.1, which fixes the issue.
This critical-severity CVE scores 9.8 under NVD CVSS v3. EPSS exploit probability: 38.7%, top 2% of all CVEs by exploit prediction. GitHub Security Advisory data not yet ingested — confidence will rise once GHSA publishes (typical lag: hours to days for open-source ecosystem CVEs; never for infrastructure-only CVEs).
No vendor fix yet — apply a workaround or compensating control (WAF / firewall / segmentation) and watch for a patch.

EG Risk is EchelonGraph's 0–100 priority score: it fuses intrinsic severity with real-world exploitation and automatability so you can rank equal-severity CVEs and fix the most dangerous first. Higher = act sooner. Distinct from the 0–10 EG Score (severity).

MITRE Common Weakness Enumeration — the root-cause categories this CVE belongs to.
Each row is a source pipeline that fetched or updated this CVE on that date, with what changed. For example, "NVD update" means NVD published or revised its analysis for this CVE; "MITRE cvelistV5" means we ingested or refreshed it from the CNA feed. Most recent first.
Working exploit code is in the public domain (4 GitHub PoCs). Defenders should treat patch urgency accordingly — public PoCs typically lead to mass-exploitation within 24-72 hours.
PoC
Open source ↗This PoC targets CVE-2025-30065, an RCE vulnerability in Apache Parquet via Avro schema deserialization. It abuses the getDefaultValue() mechanism to instantiate arbitrary record types during parsing, enabling code execution when untrusted data is processed without proper controls.
