Authentication is not required to exploit this vulnerability.
The flaw exists within the dpnepolicyservice component which exposes a DPNECentral Web Service on TCP port 80. This service contains a method LogClientHealth which does not properly validate or sanitize the clientHealth field of a user supplied request. This value is later used when constructing a query fulfill provided request. A remote attacker can exploit this vulnerability to execute arbitrary queries under the context of the service.
