## Overview

In h2oai/h2o-3 version 3.46.0.1, the `run_tool` command exposes classes in the `water.tools` package through the `ast` parser. This includes the `XGBoostLibExtractTool` class, which can be exploited to shut down the server and write large files to arbitrary directories, leading to a denial of service.

## Affected packages

- `h2o >= 3.34.0.1, <= 3.46.0.1`
- `ai.h2o:h2o-ext-xgboost >= 3.34.0.1, <= 3.46.0.1`

## Remediation

Refer to the advisory for the patched release.
