SB2017062226 - SQL injection in SQL Monitor

Description

This security bulletin contains information about 1 security vulnerability.

1) SQL injection (CVE-ID: CVE-2015-9098)

The vulnerability allows a remote non-authenticated attacker to execute arbitrary code.

In Redgate SQL Monitor before 3.10 and 4.x before 4.2, a remote attacker can gain unauthenticated access to the Base Monitor, resulting in the ability to execute arbitrary SQL commands on any monitored Microsoft SQL Server machines. If the Base Monitor is connecting to these machines using an account with SQL admin privileges, then code execution on the operating system can result in full system compromise (if Microsoft SQL Server is running with local administrator privileges).

Remediation

Install update from vendor's website.
