Name of the Vulnerable Software and Affected Versions SAP PowerDesigner version 16.7

Description The issue is related to improper access control in SAP PowerDesigner, which could allow an unauthenticated attacker to run arbitrary queries against the back-end database via a proxy. This could potentially be exploited by a remote attacker.

Recommendations For SAP PowerDesigner version 16.7, consider restricting access to the proxy server to minimize the risk of exploitation until a patch is available. As a temporary workaround, limiting the ability to run arbitrary queries against the back-end database can help mitigate the issue.
