AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:H/A:H
Vendor describes unauthenticated remote SQL injection, so AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N; SQLi can read, alter, and destroy database contents, giving C:H/I:H/A:H.

IBM Guardium Data Protection 12.0, 12.1, and 12.2 could allow a remote attacker to execute unauthorized SQL statements due to SQL injection.
AnalysisAI
Unauthenticated SQL injection in IBM Guardium Data Protection 12.0, 12.1, and 12.2 allows a remote attacker to execute unauthorized SQL statements against the appliance, with the vendor-assessed CVSS 3.1 vector (AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:H/A:H, base 9.8) indicating full compromise of confidentiality, integrity, and availability of the affected component with no privileges or user interaction required. The vulnerable feature or endpoint is not publicly disclosed, so defenders cannot pin down a specific setting to harden, but the practical gating factor is reachability: Guardium is a data-security management appliance that normally sits on an internal or management network segment rather than the public internet. …

Vulnerability AssessmentAI
| Exploitation | The vendor description specifies no special precondition beyond network reachability of the affected IBM Guardium Data Protection 12.0, 12.1, or 12.2 instance, and the CVSS vector (AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N) indicates no authentication or user interaction is required. … Additional conditions and limiting factors are described in the full assessment. |
| Risk Assessment | All vendor-supplied signals point to a high-priority flaw: the CVSS 3.1 vector (AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N) describes a network-reachable, low-complexity, no-privilege, no-interaction SQL injection with full C:H/I:H/A:H impact, yielding the 9.8 base score. … Full risk analysis with EPSS, KEV, and SSVC signal comparison available after sign-in. |
| Exploit Scenario | Full exploit scenario with step-by-step reproduction available after sign-in. |
| Remediation | Vendor-released patch: IBM has published a fix through its support channel - follow the instructions in IBM Support node 7291674 (https://www.ibm.com/support/pages/node/7291674) to identify and apply the corrected build for your 12.0, 12.1, or 12.2 release line; because the advisory does not state an exact version string in the data provided, confirm the specific fixed level on that page before closing the finding. … Detailed patch versions, workarounds, and compensating controls in full report. |
Recommended ActionAI
Within 24 hours, inventory every Guardium Data Protection deployment and confirm which instances run 12.0, 12.1, or 12.2; restrict management-interface reachability via firewall rules and access control lists to trusted administrator jump hosts only, verify no appliance is exposed to the internet, and preserve current logs for anomalous SQL or authentication activity. …
