CVE-2016-15021

Database compromise via undisclosed SQL input

Published Jan 17, 2023 · Updated Apr 4, 2025

SQL injection in Nick Ren ALS Data Browser v1 allows attackers to cause unspecified database impact via unspecified vectors. The public patch localizes affected code to Input, Output, Variant, and DBManager Java classes, but the published record does not identify the untrusted field or SQL-building operation. Published scoring requires low privileges and adjacent reachability; the exact read, write, or service consequence remains undisclosed.
