CVE-2024-6456Network attack vector

SQL execution via crafted REST Interface URL

Published Aug 15, 2024 · Updated Aug 16, 2024

SQL injection in affected AVEVA Historian 2020 and 2023 releases allows remote attackers to execute SQL through a crafted URL. AVEVA identifies the Historian REST Interface and crafted URL but has not disclosed the affected parameter or unsafe query construction. Exploitation requires an interactive Historian REST Interface user to open the link, after which SQL runs with that user's privileges.
