Technical details
This SQL injection vulnerability exists in Azure SQL Database's handling of SQL commands, where user-supplied input is not properly sanitized before execution. An attacker with valid credentials and network access to the database can craft malicious SQL statements to elevate privileges beyond their assigned role or permissions. The vulnerability allows privilege escalation over the network without requiring additional user interaction. A patch is required from Microsoft to properly neutralize special characters and validate SQL command syntax.
