Official Description

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.

Source: NIST NVD / MITRE CVE Database

Attack Vector Analysis — CITED Relevance

The vulnerability is exploited by injecting shell metacharacters such as '&&' into commands like exec_sdbinfo, which are executed by MaxDB when invoking cons.exe. This allows attackers to run arbitrary commands on the system with the privileges of the MaxDB service.
