A SQL Injection in the custom filter query component in Genesys intelligent Workload Distribution (IWD) before 9.0.013.11 allows an attacker to execute arbitrary SQL queries via the ql_expression parameter, with which all data in the database can be extracted and OS command execution is possible depending on the permissions and/or database engine.
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.
