Hi,

The following vulnerability was published for hsqldb.

CVE-2022-41853[0]:
| Those using java.sql.Statement or java.sql.PreparedStatement in hsqldb
| (HyperSQL DataBase) to process untrusted input may be vulnerable to a
| remote code execution attack. By default it is allowed to call any
| static method of any Java class in the classpath resulting in code
| execution. The issue can be prevented by updating to 2.7.1 or by
| setting the system property "hsqldb.method_class_names" to classes
| which are allowed to be called. For example,
| System.setProperty("hsqldb.method_class_names", "abc") or Java
| argument -Dhsqldb.method_class_names="abc" can be used. From version
| 2.7.1 all classes by default are not accessible except those in
| java.lang.Math and need to be manually enabled.
