RE: Simple to exploit SQL Injection ?

The application is apparently "escaping" (doubling-up) quotes in the
password field.  This is good practice, although a better (best?) practice
would be to parameterize the query.

AFAIK, SQL injection on this form will be difficult, if not impossible.

Subject: Simple to exploit SQL Injection ?

I am reviewing a .Net web application. When entering
xyz for a username and ' for a password into a form I
receive the following stack trace (extract):

System.Exception: Can't Load DataReader using SQL
string: 'SELECT * FROM users WHERE username = 'xyz'
AND password = '''' -- Unclosed quotation mark before
the character string '''. Line 1: Incorrect syntax
near '''.

Now I would have thought this would be easy to
exploit, but I can't bypass the logon page. xyz is a
valid username. Any ideas?

Cheers
