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 2.4.1-2+deb10u1 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 2.4.1-2+deb10u1 all classes by default are not accessible except those in java.lang.Math and need to be manually enabled. For Debian 10 buster, this problem has been fixed in version 2.4.1-2+deb10u1. We recommend that you upgrade your hsqldb packages.
