Description

The Okta Access Gateway does not sanitize SAML assertion values before interpolating them into database queries in the advanced mode datastore configuration. The unsanitized values are substituted directly into the query string prior to preparation, resulting in unintended SQL execution against the configured backend database.

CWE-89

Improper Neutralization of Special Elements used in an SQL Command ('SQL Injection')

The product constructs all or part of an SQL command using externally-influenced input from an upstream component, but it does not neutralize or incorrectly neutralizes special elements that could modify the intended SQL command when it is sent to a downstream component. Without sufficient removal or quoting of SQL syntax in user-controllable inputs, the generated SQL query can cause those inputs to be interpreted as SQL instead of ordinary user data.
