Security Bulletin
Summary
The software constructs all or part of an SQL command using externally-controlled input, but it does not neutralize properly that input that could modify the intended SQL command when it is sent to a database interaction method (e.g. JDBC). Commonly a database table contains information that should not be accessible to all the users. However, if an user can modify the query to specify a primary key, then it's possible for him to access unauthorized records. The rule detects a path in code between an user-input statement specifying the primary key (source) and a database call (sink), with SQL sentence depending on non neutralized input. It must be known that if SQL does not depend on user-controlled input (e.g. Parametrized SQL), there is no possibility for attacker to view unauthorized records. The rule supports different database persistence libraries/frameworks, like JDBC, Hibernate, Java Persistence API (JPA), JDO, or Spring.

Disclaimer
According to the Forum of Incident Response and Security Teams (FIRST), the Common Vulnerability Scoring System (CVSS) is an "industry open standard designed to convey vulnerability severity and help to determine urgency and priority of response." IBM PROVIDES THE CVSS SCORES ""AS IS"" WITHOUT WARRANTY OF ANY KIND, INCLUDING THE IMPLIED WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY AND FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE. CUSTOMERS ARE RESPONSIBLE FOR ASSESSING THE IMPACT OF ANY ACTUAL OR POTENTIAL SECURITY VULNERABILITY. In addition to other efforts to address potential vulnerabilities, IBM periodically updates the record of components contained in our product offerings. As part of that effort, if IBM identifies previously unidentified packages in a product/service inventory, we address relevant vulnerabilities regardless of CVE date. Inclusion of an older CVEID does not demonstrate that the referenced product has been used by IBM since that date, nor that IBM was aware of a vulnerability as of that date. We are making clients aware of relevant vulnerabilities as we become aware of them. "Affected Products and Versions" referenced in IBM Security Bulletins are intended to be only products and versions that are supported by IBM and have not passed their end-of-support or warranty date. Thus, failure to reference unsupported or extended-support products and versions in this Security Bulletin does not constitute a determination by IBM that they are unaffected by the vulnerability. Reference to one or more unsupported versions in this Security Bulletin shall not create an obligation for IBM to provide fixes for any unsupported or extended-support products or versions.
