## Technical details

The vulnerability is a SQL injection flaw in certain SlurmDBD Remote Procedure Call (RPC) handlers that fail to properly sanitize attacker-controlled input before constructing SQL queries. An attacker with network access to the SlurmDBD service can craft malicious RPC requests to execute arbitrary SQL commands and achieve code execution on the database daemon.
