IBM Guardium Data Protection 12.2 could allow a remote attacker to execute arbitrary SQL commands due to improper neutralization of special elements used in an SQL command.
AnalysisAI
Unauthenticated SQL injection in IBM Guardium Data Protection 12.2 lets a remote attacker submit crafted input that is concatenated into a SQL statement without proper neutralization, enabling execution of arbitrary SQL commands with full confidentiality, integrity, and availability impact (CVSS 3.1 base 9.8, AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N). Per the assessed vector, no credentials and no user interaction are required, so any party who can reach the affected interface over the network can attempt exploitation; the practical barrier is deployment exposure, since Guardium management interfaces are normally placed on segmented internal or security-monitoring networks rather than being internet-facing. …

Vulnerability AssessmentAI
| Exploitation | The CVSS vector (PR:N/UI:N/AV:N) indicates no authentication and no user interaction are required - unauthenticated remote exploitation against a network-reachable Guardium Data Protection 12.2 instance. … Additional conditions and limiting factors are described in the full assessment. |
| Risk Assessment | The CVSS vector (CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:H/A:H, base 9.8) describes a fully remote, unauthenticated, low-complexity SQL injection with full confidentiality, integrity, and availability impact - a genuinely high-priority profile if the vulnerable endpoint is network-reachable. … 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 | Patch status per the source data: Patch available per vendor advisory, with the IBM Support page https://www.ibm.com/support/pages/node/7288040 cited as the patch reference; no exact patched version number or interim fix is given in the provided input, so consult that page to confirm the precise fix or interim-fix level for your 12.2 build before declaring the instance remediated. … Detailed patch versions, workarounds, and compensating controls in full report. |
Recommended ActionAI
Within 24 hours, confirm whether your estate runs IBM Guardium Data Protection 12.2, inventory all management interfaces and their network reachability, and isolate the affected appliances behind segmentation and allow-listed administrative access only; treat any internet-exposed or broadly reachable instance as urgent. …
