SAP MaxDB 7.6.03 build 007 and earlier allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary commands via "&&" and other shell metacharacters in exec_sdbinfo and other unspecified commands, which are executed when MaxDB invokes cons.exe.
CVE-2008-0244
Score elevated to 9.0 because EPSS predicts 90% probability of exploitation within the next 30 days (top 0.4% of all CVEs). Confidence: see factors.
