Description

Under certain conditions, SAP Adaptive Server Enterprise (Web Services), versions 15.7, 16.0, allows an authenticated user to execute crafted database queries to elevate their privileges, modify database objects, or execute commands they are not otherwise authorized to execute, leading to SQL Injection.

• 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.
