CVE-2024-51962 — Esri Arcgis Server security vulnerability

High CVSS 8.7

A SQL injection vulnerability in ArcGIS Server allows an EDIT operation to modify column properties in a manner that could lead to SQL injection when performed by a remote authenticated user requiring elevated, non‑administrative privileges. Exploitation is restricted to users with advanced application‑specific permissions, indicating high privileges are required. Successful exploitation would have a high impact on integrity and confidentiality, with no impact on availability.

SQL and data-query injection

This catalog composition supplies bounded fallback guidance. Explicitly reviewed curated workflows load with the complete record below.

Check exposure

  • Trace request, message, file, and stored values into SQL, ORM query fragments, filters, sort expressions, and other data-query languages.
  • Inventory database roles, reachable schemas, multi-tenant boundaries, and whether stacked or administrative operations are enabled.
  • Check both direct queries and second-order use of previously stored values.

Remediate safely

  • Use parameterized queries or safe query builders for all values; map identifiers and operators through explicit allowlists.
  • Remove raw query concatenation and give the application account only the tables and operations it requires.
  • Update affected data-access components and add regression tests for query structure preservation with inert edge-case inputs.
