Description

A SQL injection vulnerability in ArcGIS Server allows an EDIT operation to modify column properties in a manner that could lead to SQL injection when performed by a remote authenticated user requiring elevated, non‑administrative privileges. Exploitation is restricted to users with advanced application‑specific permissions, indicating high privileges are required. Successful exploitation would have a high impact on integrity and confidentiality, with no impact on availability.

• 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.
