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.
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.
