Description

There is SQL injection vulnerability in Esri ArcGIS Insights Desktop for Mac and Windows version 2022.1 that may allow a local, authorized attacker to execute arbitrary SQL commands against the back-end database. The effort required to generate the crafted input required to exploit this issue is complex and requires significant effort before a successful attack can be expected.

• 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.
