A single vulnerable field on any form or API endpoint across a website that has access to a database may be sufficient to expose a vulnerability. How is a SQL Injection attack prevented? There are number of methods for reducing the risk of a data breach due to SQL injection. As a best...
A web page or web application that has an SQL injection vulnerability uses user input directly in an SQL query. Why are SQL Injection Attacks Common? SQL injection attacks have been around for years and are common due to a few reasons: The prevalence of SQL injection vulnerabilities on data...
SQLi is a vulnerability where the web developers that design the code that communicates between the webserver and the database don’t implement protections against SQL commands being submitted by a user. The problem is that it’s possible to be able to escape out of database statements and ad...
Without strong input sanitization, a fillable form or comment box is a glaring SQL injection vulnerability. Instead of filling out these forms with standard answers and content, hackers using SQL injection take another path — they’ll enter a string of SQL code. When a website with poor ...
How can you detect an SQL injection vulnerability? Imagine walking up to the information desk at a busy airport and, before you can ask about your flight, someone else interjects with a question of their own. It’s annoying and rude, but it’s not dangerous. When cybercriminals do ...
After exploiting a vulnerability, a cyberattack can run malicious code, install malware, and even steal sensitive data. Vulnerabilities can be exploited by a variety of methods, including SQL injection, buffer overflows, cross-site scripting (XSS), and open-source exploit kits that look for ...
Our WAF also employs crowdsourcing techniques that ensure that new threats targeting any user are immediately propagated across the entire user-base. This enables rapid response to newly disclosed vulnerability andzero-day threats. Adding Data-Centric Protection for Defense in Depth ...
While not as common as direct SQL injections, a single second-order attack could potentially affect a large number of users. SQL Injection Examples The first SQL Injection example is very simple. It shows, how an attacker can use an SQL Injection vulnerability to go around application security ...

Union-based SQL injection exploits a vulnerability in the way SQL is written, by using the “UNION” operator to get the database to return more information than should be accessed. Inferential: Inferential SQL injections, also known as Blind SQL injections, generally take longer to carry out....
