CVE-2022-1258Network attack vector

Arbitrary database queries via blind SQL injection

Published Apr 14, 2022 · Updated Aug 2, 2024

Blind SQL injection in McAfee Agent ePO Extension before 5.7.6 allows remote authenticated users to execute arbitrary SQL queries. The extension constructs back-end database queries from attacker-controlled input without neutralizing SQL syntax; the affected parameter and code locus are undisclosed. Exploitation requires an authenticated ePO administrator; arbitrary queries expose or alter stored data, and successful escalation reaches server command execution.
