## Details
An authorization weakness allowed a low-privileged authenticated user to register an unauthorized managed server, after which insufficiently protected synchronization responses could cause the Central server to execute attacker-controlled SQL statements.
## Impact
Successful exploitation could allow an attacker to modify the Central server database, gain Enterprise Administrator privileges, execute arbitrary code with service privileges, and potentially compromise connected Probe servers.
## Fix
Applications Manager version 182100 (refer above for other fixed versions) and above fixes the vulnerability in the affected communication endpoint by enforcing token-based authentication.
## Steps to update
Update your Applications Manager instance to the latest build using the service pack.
