CVE-2022-22413Network attack vector

Remote data manipulation via SQL injection

Published May 12, 2022 · Updated Sep 17, 2024

SQL injection in IBM Robotic Process Automation 21.0.0 through 21.0.2 allows remote attackers to alter back-end data via crafted SQL statements. The affected server-side SQL handling locus is not identified in IBM or MITRE records; those records only state that specially crafted SQL statements reach the back-end database. Remote access to an exposed RPA interface is required, and the documented consequences include viewing, adding, modifying, or deleting database information.
