A vulnerability in NuPoint Messenger (NPM) of Mitel MiCollab through 9.8.0.33 allows an unauthenticated attacker to conduct a SQL injection attack due to insufficient sanitization of user input. A successful exploit could allow an attacker to access sensitive information and execute arbitrary database and management operations.
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.
