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.
In internet security, DOM clobbering (where DOM stands for Document Object Model) is a type of injection attack that revolves around the attacker being able to insert benign non-script HTML code that can be used to influence the execution of JavaScript code. This enables a skilled attacker to perform a variety of unwanted behaviours, including ...
The technique transforms an application SQL statement from an innocent SQL call to a malicious call that can cause unauthorized access, deletion of data, or theft of information. [ 3 ] One way that DAM can prevent SQL injection is by monitoring the application activity, generating a baseline of “normal behavior”, and identifying an attack ...
Injection exploits are computer exploits that use some input or data entry feature to introduce some kind of data or code that subverts the intended operation of the system. Usually these exploits exploit vulnerabilities resulting from insufficient data validation on input and so forth.
For example, a Buffer Overflow attack pattern, is usually followed by Escalation of Privilege attacks, Subversion attacks or setting up for Trojan Horse /Backdoor attacks. This field can be particularly useful when researching an attack and identifying what other potential attacks may have been carried out or set up.
