Research direction

Start by tracing the DatabaseMetadata.get* calls and the WHITELIST validation mentioned in the report. Reproduce the failure with an escaped argument and determine whether the metadata methods accept it while retaining input validation; done means the reported escaped input no longer fails validation.
