SQL injection: although reduced compared to the past, this attack method is the most dangerous. The entry form can provide access to sensitive information and may allow the modification of database information. There are specific solutions for these types of attacks to be implemented through plugins...

"Description":"The code constructs SQL queries using string concatenation which is vulnerable to SQL Injection Attacks.", "Remediation":"Use parameterized SQL queries to prevent SQL injection attacks. Parameterized queries separate the SQL code from the user input data. They use placeholders for the ...
This stage uses web application attacks, such ascross-site scripting,SQL injectionandbackdoors, to uncover a target’s vulnerabilities. Testers then try and exploit these vulnerabilities, typically by escalating privileges, stealing data, intercepting traffic, etc., to understand the damage they can ca...
