SQL injection in the FactoryTalk View SE Datalog function before 14 allows attackers to read, modify, or delete remote database data. The function incorporates attacker-controlled input into an SQL statement, but Rockwell Automation has not disclosed the affected parameter or query-construction locus. Exploitation requires an unauthenticated SQL database or stolen database credentials and affects HMI design time only, not runtime.
