Description

SQL injection vulnerability in core services in Intel Security McAfee ePolicy Orchestrator (ePO) 5.3.2 and earlier and 5.1.3 and earlier allows attackers to alter a SQL query, which can result in disclosure of information within the database or impersonation of an agent without authentication via a specially crafted HTTP post.

• CWE-89Improper Neutralization of Special Elements used in an SQL Command ('SQL Injection')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.
