WASC is proud to present a new WASC-article titled "The Unexpected SQL Injection" by Alexander "Mordred" Andonov. This article surveys several scenarios under which SQL injection may occur, even though mysql_real_escape_string() has been used. There are two major steps at writing SQL injection resistant code: correct validation and escaping of input and proper use of the SQL syntax. Failure to comply with any of them may lead to compromise. Many of the specific issues are already known, but no single document mentions them all. Although the examples in the paper make use of PHP/MySQL, the same principles apply to ASP/MSSQL and other combinations of languages and databases. The paper can be found in http://www.webappsec.org/projects/articles/091007.shtml Regards, The WASC-Articles team http://www.webappsec.org/projects/articles/ http://www.webappsec.org/ The Web Application Security Consortium ------------------------------------------------------------------------ This list is sponsored by: Cenzic Need to secure your web apps NOW?
