I'm advising a friend who manages a SQL 2k5 box that has several users who have dbo access to multiple databases. The problem is: These users haven't had their passwords changed for some months, These users put their IDs into applications and the applications run as DBO. So - aside from the obvious dbo rights to add/update/delete tab...
Aside from executing XP_CmdShell, which I have disabled in my SQL 2005 installation, what could a malicious user who gains DBO rights to my database do: to my database, to my server?
