Machine-written summary

Summary written by Claude Haiku from the source advisory. Not reviewed by a person.

The redshift-connector package (the official Python driver for Amazon Redshift) is vulnerable in versions before 2.1.14. A rogue database server or a man-in-the-middle attacker can send crafted query responses that the driver processes without adequate validation, which could lead to arbitrary code execution in the client process. Upgrade to redshift-connector 2.1.14 or later.
