HashiCorp Vault and Vault Enterprise versions 0.8.0 through 1.13.1 are vulnerable to an SQL injection attack when configuring the Microsoft SQL (MSSQL) Database Storage Backend. When configuring the MSSQL plugin through the local, certain parameters are not sanitized when passed to the user-provided MSSQL database. An attacker may modify these parameters to execute a malicious SQL command.

This issue is fixed in versions 1.13.1, 1.12.5, and 1.11.9.

A flaw was found in HashiCorp Vault and Vault Enterprise, which are vulnerable to SQL injection. This flaw allows a local authenticated attacker to send specially-crafted SQL statements to the Microsoft SQL (MSSQL) Database Storage Backend, which could allow the attacker to view, add, modify, or delete information in the backend database.
