The primary reason SQL injection attacks succeed is due to vulnerabilities. These vulnerabilities are lapses in code, whether in the core, plugins, or themes. While we’ll dive into the details of how SQL injection exploits work later in the article, it’s important to understand that vulnerabi...
The best way to do this is with “RemoteOnly” customErrors or similar configurations. This means that a detailed error message will only be displayed on local machines that are verified and trusted. But if an external hacker attempts an SQL injection and gets an error, they’ll just see a ...
SQL injection is a security flaw that enables attackers to meddle with an application’s database queries. It usually involves slipping harmful SQL statements into places where users can input data, which can then be executed. This risk has long posed a considerable threat to web security. Such...
SQL Injection (SQLi) is a type of an injection attack that makes it possible to execute malicious SQL statements. These statements control a database server behind a web application. Attackers can use SQL Injection vulnerabilities to bypass application security measures. They can go around authentica...

Phil Factor shows how to monitor for the errors indicative of a possible SQL Injection attack on one of your SQL Server databases, using a SQL Monitor custom metric that uses diagnostic data from Extended Events.
A NoSQL injection vulnerability is an error in a web application that uses a NoSQL database. This web application security issue lets a malicious party bypass authentication, extract data, modify data, or even gain complete control over the application. NoSQL injection attacks are the result of...
SQL injection is a serious security vulnerability that attackers exploit by sending malicious SQL query statements to the database server through web applications that do not properly filter user-entered data. These malicious query statementscanenable attackers to perform malicious operations, including dat...
There are many similarities between LDAP injection and SQL injection. They are both code injection attacks, where the malicious user inserts a piece of their own code into an existing data stream to try to bypass security measures. Code injection can be performed on a variety of different protoc...
Common techniques include SQL injection to bypass authentication and access user data directly from databases, XSS to steal session tokens, and exploitation of broken authentication mechanisms to guess or brute-force passwords. They may also exploit insecure direct object references, security ...
