What is CVE-2014-8778?

The Checkmarx CxSAST product prior to version 7.1.8 contains a vulnerability that allows remote authenticated users to circumvent the CxQL sandbox protection. This exploitation enables an attacker to run arbitrary C# code by asserting specific permissions such as 'System.Security.Permissions.PermissionState.Unrestricted' or 'System.Security.Permissions.SecurityPermissionFlag.AllFlags'. This vulnerability poses a significant risk as it permits unauthorized execution of potentially harmful code within the application environment.
