    I don’t understand the point the posts are trying to make. If an attacker can get at the SQL database, they must have remote access, i.e. the system is compromised somehow. What’s stopping them from getting at anything else? Why should we concerned about the database specifically?

      I think the point might be that any other program on your pc can access that db. Which would obviously be very bad. If that is the case I would think it would be patched.
