CVE-2021-39085Network attack vector

Authenticated database manipulation via Dashboard SQL injection

Published Aug 16, 2022 · Updated Sep 17, 2024

SQL injection in IBM Sterling B2B Integrator Standard Edition allows remote authenticated users to alter back-end database data. IBM identifies the Dashboard UI as the affected component but has not disclosed the request parameter or database operation that fails to neutralize SQL syntax. A valid low-privilege account and network access to the dashboard are required; successful injection permits viewing, adding, modifying, or deleting database information.
