Exploitability

CWE
CWE Icon
KEV
KEV Icon
CWE ID Description
CWE-89 The product constructs all or part of an SQL command using externally-influenced input from an upstream component, but it does not neutralize or incorrectly neutralizes special elements that could modify the intended SQL command when it is sent to a downstream component. Without sufficient removal or quoting of SQL syntax in user-controllable inputs, the generated SQL query can cause those inputs to be interpreted as SQL instead of ordinary user data.

Executive Summary

This is a SQL injection vulnerability in Microsoft SQL Server. It occurs when user input is not properly sanitized before being used in SQL commands. An authorized attacker can exploit this to manipulate database queries and elevate their privileges over a network.

Impact Analysis

An attacker could gain unauthorized access to sensitive data, modify or delete database records, or take control of the database server. This could lead to data breaches, loss of data integrity, or disruption of services.

Compliance Impact

This vulnerability could lead to non-compliance with GDPR (data protection) and HIPAA (healthcare data privacy) by exposing sensitive personal or medical data. Organizations may face legal penalties, fines, or reputational damage if exploited.

Mitigation Strategies

Apply the latest security updates from Microsoft for SQL Server immediately to patch the SQL injection vulnerability. Monitor network traffic for unusual SQL queries and restrict database access to authorized users only.
