Description

RSA Web Threat Detection versions prior to 6.4, contain an SQL injection vulnerability in the Administration and Forensics applications. An authenticated malicious user with low privileges could potentially exploit this vulnerability to execute SQL commands on the back-end database to gain unauthorized access to the tool's monitoring and user information by supplying specially crafted input data to the affected application.

• 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.
