Impact
Manipulation of data

This includes vulnerabilities where a user or a remote attacker can manipulate local data on a system, but not necessarily be able to gain escalated privileges or system access.

The most frequent type of vulnerabilities with this impact are SQL-injection vulnerabilities, where a malicious user or person can manipulate SQL queries.

Description

Brian Gallagher has reported a vulnerability in Dreamweaver, which can be exploited by malicious people to conduct SQL injection attacks.

The vulnerability is caused due to missing sanitation of the code generated by Dreamweaver server behaviours for various server models. This can be exploited to manipulate SQL queries by injecting arbitrary SQL code.
