A specially-crafted HTTP request can lead to SQL injection. An attacker can make authenticated HTTP requests to trigger this vulnerability at ‘host_alt_filter2’ parameter. This can be done as any authenticated user or through cross-site request forgery.
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.
