AI Insight

LLM-synthesized narrative grounded in this CVE's description and references.

IBM Storage Protect Server 8.2.0 is vulnerable to SQL injection via its JSON-RPC endpoint, allowing authenticated attackers to execute arbitrary SQL queries on the backend database.

The vulnerability resides in the JSON-RPC endpoint of IBM Storage Protect Server 8.2.0. Improper neutralization of user-supplied input enables SQL injection attacks, allowing an authenticated remote attacker to craft malicious SQL statements that are executed against the backend database [1].

An attacker must be authenticated to the server and have network access to the JSON-RPC endpoint. No additional privileges are required, and the attack does not require user interaction. The attacker can send specially crafted SQL queries through the endpoint to manipulate database operations [1].

Successful exploitation allows the attacker to view, add, modify, or delete information in the back-end database. This includes potential access to administrative metadata stored in internal database tables, which could lead to further compromise of the system [1].

IBM has published a security bulletin for this issue. The affected version is IBM Storage Protect Server 8.2.0. IBM recommends applying the available fix as no workarounds are documented [1].
