A vulnerability was found in OCLC-Research OAICat 1.5.61. It has been rated as critical. This issue affects some unknown processing. The manipulation leads to sql injection. The attack may be initiated remotely. Upgrading to version 1.5.62 is able to address this issue. The identifier of the patch is 6cc65501869fa663bcd24a70b63f41f5cfe6b3e1. It is recommended to upgrade the affected component. The identifier VDB-221489 was assigned to this vulnerability.
The product constructs all or part of an SQL command using externally-influenced input from an upstream component, but it does not neutralize or incorrectly neutralizes special elements that could modify the intended SQL command when it is sent to a downstream component. Without sufficient removal or quoting of SQL syntax in user-controllable inputs, the generated SQL query can cause those inputs to be interpreted as SQL instead of ordinary user data.
