CVE-2016-6566 is a critical-severity flaw (CVSS 9.8) affecting etrakit3. Below: why it ranks where it does, which versions are affected, what to do, and the exact commands.
The valueAsString parameter inside the JSON payload contained by the ucLogin_txtLoginId_ClientStat POST parameter of the Sungard eTRAKiT3 software version 3.2.1.17 is not properly validated. An unauthenticated remote attacker may be able to modify the POST request and insert a SQL query which may then be executed by the backend server. eTRAKiT 3.2.1.17 was tested, but other versions may also be vulnerable.
Why this priority
- Critical severity
- EPSS top 4%: very likely to be exploited
- Public exploit reference
- Remotely exploitable, no login, no user action
