CWE CWE-89: Improper Neutralization of Special Elements used in an SQL Command ('SQL Injection')
OWASP A01:2017 - Injection
Confidence Level Medium
Impact Level Medium
Likelihood Level High

Description

User input from the 'event' object is being used directly in SQL queries with pymssql without proper sanitization. This allows attackers to manipulate the SQL statements, creating a risk of SQL injection.

Impact

If exploited, an attacker could execute arbitrary SQL commands on your database—potentially stealing, modifying, or deleting sensitive data, or even taking control of the database server. This compromises data integrity and can lead to data breaches or system downtime.
