CVE-2013-7232
Official description Straight from the sourceThe vendor's or NVD's own wording, published unedited. Authoritative, but often terse — it says what broke, rarely what to do.
NVD · uneditedSQL injection vulnerability in ESRI ArcGIS for Server through 10.2 allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary SQL commands via unspecified input to the map or feature service.

Am I affected? How to checkSteps we derive from the advisory and the affected-version data, so you can decide whether this CVE reaches your setup. They are a guide, not a scan — your own configuration is the authority.
dbcve checksWork through these to decide whether this CVE applies to you.
-
Identify the installed ArcGIS for Server versionAccess the ArcGIS Server Services Directory at http://[your-server]/arcgis/rest/services and locate the version in the page footer, or check via the Windows Programs and Features list / Linux package managerAffected if The installed version is 10.2 or any release prior to 10.2.1
-
Confirm map services are publishedAccess the ArcGIS Server Manager or Services Directory and list all active MapServer endpointsAffected if Any MapServer service is published and reachable over the network
-
Confirm feature services are publishedAccess the ArcGIS Server Manager or Services Directory and list all active FeatureServer endpointsAffected if Any FeatureServer service is published and reachable over the network
-
Assess network exposure of servicesReview firewall rules, reverse proxy configurations, and access controls to determine if ArcGIS Server REST endpoints are accessible from untrusted networksAffected if Map or feature service endpoints are exposed to untrusted users or the internet without input validation at a WAF or gateway layer
The environment is affected if ArcGIS for Server version is 10.2 or lower AND map or feature services are published and network-accessible to untrusted users.

Remediation Closing itWhat it takes to close this. Where a vendor fix exists we point at it; where none exists we say so plainly, and can build one. Effort estimates are scoped from the advisory, not from your codebase.
From vendor dataApply vendor patch or upgrade to a supported version of ArcGIS for Server (10.2.1 or later). If immediate patching is not feasible, implement input validation at a WAF or API gateway layer to block SQL injection payloads.
