: Use parameterized queries so that user input is never executed as code.
: This is likely a "canary" or a unique identifier used by automated security scanners to confirm if the injection was successful. What should you do?
: The attacker uses NULL values to figure out how many columns are in the original database table. If the number of NULL s doesn't match the number of columns in the original query, the database will return an error. : Use parameterized queries so that user input
Are you seeing this in your , or are you testing the security of your own code ?
: This is the core of the attack. It tells the database to combine the results of the legitimate query with the results of a new, malicious one. : The attacker uses NULL values to figure
: Ensure all data entered by users is cleaned and validated before it hits your database.
: This is a SQL comment. It tells the database to ignore everything that follows it (like the original developer's remaining code), which prevents the rest of the legitimate query from causing a syntax error. : This is the core of the attack
