Description
<p>A remote code execution vulnerability exists in Microsoft Dynamics 365 (on-premises) when the server fails to properly sanitize web requests to an affected Dynamics server. An attacker who successfully exploited the vulnerability could run arbitrary code in the context of the SQL service account.
