A classification of SQL injection attacking vector as of 2010. In computing, SQL injection is a code injection technique used to attack data-driven applications, in which malicious SQL statements are inserted into an entry field for execution (e.g. to dump the database contents to the attacker).
An SQL injection takes advantage of SQL syntax to inject malicious commands that can read or modify a database or compromise the meaning of the original query. [13] For example, consider a web page that has two text fields which allow users to enter a username and a password.
The current revision of the PHP manual mentions that the rationale behind magic quotes was to "help [prevent] code written by beginners from being dangerous." [2] It was however originally introduced in PHP 2 as a php.h compile-time setting for msql, only escaping single quotes, "making it easier to pass form data directly to msql queries". [3]
Major DBMSs, including SQLite, [5] MySQL, [6] Oracle, [7] IBM Db2, [8] Microsoft SQL Server [9] and PostgreSQL [10] support prepared statements. Prepared statements are normally executed through a non-SQL binary protocol for efficiency and protection from SQL injection, but with some DBMSs such as MySQL prepared statements are also available using a SQL syntax for debugging purposes.
In this way, for two chains to collide and merge they must hit the same value on the same iteration: consequently, the final values in these chain will be identical. A final postprocessing pass can sort the chains in the table and remove any "duplicate" chains that have the same final values as other chains.
Any object can be a service or a client; the names relate only to the role the objects play in an injection. The same object may even be both a client (it uses injected services) and a service (it is injected into other objects). Upon injection, the service is made part of the client's state, available for use. [12]
In the following PHP program, the value of $_GET["name"] is used to build a message to be shown to the user. This opens the possibility for XSS attacks that incorporate their payload into the HTTP GET parameter name. As a security filter against XSS attacks, this program sanitizes the value it reads from $_GET["name"] via the htmlentities function.
Encapsulate creating and assembling the parts of a complex object in a separate Builder object. A class delegates object creation to a Builder object instead of creating the objects directly. A class (the same construction process) can delegate to different Builder objects to create different representations of a complex object.
