CVE-2023-21521Network attack vector

Database compromise via Operator Audit Trail SQL injection

Published Sep 12, 2023 · Updated Sep 26, 2024

SQL injection in BlackBerry AtHoc 7.15 Operator Audit Trail allows remote authenticated users to read or modify database data. BlackBerry identifies the Management Console's Operator Audit Trail as the locus but has not disclosed the affected request, parameter, or query construction. Access requires high privileges over the network; successful injection can administer the database, read DBMS-host files, and sometimes issue operating-system commands.
