CVE-2021-36299Network attack vector

Data disclosure or service interruption via SQL injection

Published Nov 23, 2021 · Updated Sep 16, 2024

SQL injection in Dell iDRAC9 4.40.00.00 and later but before 4.40.29.00 allows remote authenticated users to read data or interrupt service. Dell identifies crafted input to an affected application but does not disclose the endpoint, query construction, or unsafely handled parameter. Low-privilege iDRAC authentication is required; successful exploitation can expose information or cause a service interruption, with no integrity impact reported.
