CVE-2021-21465
The BW Database Interface allows an attacker with low privileges to execute any crafted database queries, exposing the backend database.
Does this matter?
High impact if exploited, but EPSS currently rates exploitation as unlikely (3.72%). Schedule it in the normal patch cycle and watch for a rise in EPSS or a public exploit.
Description
The BW Database Interface allows an attacker with low privileges to execute any crafted database queries, exposing the backend database. An attacker can include their own SQL commands which the database will execute without properly sanitizing the untrusted data leading to SQL injection vulnerability which can fully compromise the affected SAP system.
