Technical details

A SQL injection vulnerability exists in the debug interface of the BMC Control-M/MFT API. The flaw is caused by improper input validation and unsafe dynamic SQL handling within the MFT component. An authenticated attacker with network access to the API can exploit this by injecting malicious SQL queries. Successful exploitation allows for arbitrary file read and write operations on the underlying system, which can be further leveraged to achieve remote code execution (RCE). The issue affects versions 9.0.20 through 9.0.22 and is addressed in patch PAAFP.9.0.22.025.
