## Technical details

A SQL injection vulnerability (CWE-89) exists in IBM Sterling B2B Integrator and IBM Sterling File Gateway. The flaw is caused by improper neutralization of special elements used in SQL commands. A remote attacker with low privileges can exploit this by sending specially crafted SQL statements over the network. Successful exploitation allows the attacker to perform unauthorized read, write, or delete operations against the back-end database. IBM has released patches (6.2.0.6, 6.2.1.2, and 6.2.2.1) to address this issue.
