validatedZero produced an exploit or a check.description
MarkLogic Server 11.x before 11.3.7 and 12.x before 12.1.0 are affected by improper privilege management in an XQuery evaluation function. An attacker with query-execution access may execute server-side code with elevated permissions.
mitigation
Upgrade MarkLogic Server 11.x to 11.3.7 or later, or 12.x to 12.1.0 or later. Restrict query-execution access to trusted users until upgrades are complete.
