Security Researcher Detected: You might have ended up here because your site vulnerability scanner found something interesting. Hi! I'm a security engineer and I'm having a good time interacting with the people and bots that are interested in information security.

You will hopefully find this site is well-secured and I'm not interested in being hacked. I'm interested in learning about how people try to hack me, though.

Trino Query API

What an attacker could do

An exposed Trino query API lets an attacker execute federated SQL across all connected catalogs (databases, object stores, lakes), reading or exfiltrating data from every backing data source the coordinator can reach.

How to defend it

Require authentication (LDAP, OAuth2, or JWT) and TLS on the Trino coordinator, enable system access control to scope catalogs per user, and restrict coordinator network access.
