• CWE Name
• Dangling Database Cursor ('Cursor Injection')

• CWE Abstraction

• CWE structure

• CWE Status

If a database cursor is not closed properly, then it could become accessible to other users while retaining the same privileges that were originally assigned, leaving the cursor "dangling."

For example, an improper dangling cursor could arise from unhandled exceptions. The impact of the issue depends on the cursor's role, but SQL injection attacks are commonly possible.
