" SQL Injection is a way to attack the data in a database through a firewall protecting it. It is a method by which the parameters of a Web-based application are modified in order to change the SQL statements that are passed to a database to return data. For example, by adding a single quote () to the parameters, it is ... |

I have never been convinced of the ability of an automated tool to definitively find vulnerabilities. The tableName value that is being passed to the PreparedStatement could very well being retrieved from a drop down menu. If that happens to be the case, and the tableName is being pulled from a controlled vocabulary of some sort, then there is no "vulnerability". ... |
SQL injection is an attack where a user can exploit weaknesses in your code to "inject" SQL clauses into your statements, yeilding unintended results. The aim is usually to gain access. Here's a classic example: suppose you accept a username and password and use the following to construct a Statement: String query = "select * from USERS where username='"+username+"' and password='"+password+"'"; ... |

Why would you be doing this in a filter? It's main-line functionality and not really suited to a filter. And I'd even delegate it to lower levels than the UI. After all, database security is not a UI issue and should be independent of the UI. [ October 11, 2008: Message edited by: Bear Bibeault ] |

Hi all, I have a unique scenario which is making it difficult for me to figure out a proper way to prevent SQL injection. A user has a text box in which they type the WHERE clause to a SQL query. I take that WHERE clause into a Servlet, validate it, execute it and display results back to the user. The ... |
Hi Jeanne, Yes, I do recommend using parameters when the dynamic part of the query is a value. I have an example in my book of adding a list of ? parameter placeholders to a query string and preparing that. Your batching idea takes that a step further, and gives benefit in some vendors of RDBMS, where the optimization of a ... |

Hi, SQL injection refers to the act of someone inserting a MySQL statement to be run on your database without your knowledge. Injection usually occurs when you ask a user for input, like their name, and instead of a name they give you a MySQL statement that you will unknowingly run on your database. SQL Injection Example Below is a sample ... |
