Official Description
EMC Documentum Content Server before 6.7 SP2 P16 and 7.x before 7.1 P07, when Oracle Database is used, does not properly restrict DQL hints, which allows remote authenticated users to conduct DQL injection attacks and read sensitive database content via a crafted request.
Technical Analysis
CVE-2014-2520 can be exploited remotely over the network without requiring physical or adjacent access, significantly expanding the attack surface for threat actors.
Exploitation requires some privileges, which limits the exposure to scenarios where an attacker has already gained initial access.
