SQL Injection, CWE-89, CAPEC-66, Single Quote, Database Error, DORK Report

SQL injection vulnerabilities arise when user-controllable data is incorporated into database SQL queries in an unsafe manner. An attacker can supply crafted input to break out of the data context in which their input appears and interfere with the structure of the surrounding query.

Various attacks can be delivered via SQL injection, including reading or modifying critical application data, interfering with application logic, escalating privileges within the database and executing operating system commands.

Issue remediation

The most effective way to prevent SQL injection attacks is to use parameterised queries (also known as prepared statements) for all database access. This method uses two steps to incorporate potentially tainted data into SQL queries: first, the application specifies the structure of the query, leaving placeholders for each item of user input; second, the application specifies the contents of each placeholder. Because the structure of the query has already defined in the first step, it is not possible for malformed data in the second step to interfere with the query structure. You should review the documentation for your database and application platform to determine the appropriate APIs which you can use to perform parameterised queries. It is strongly recommended that you parameterise every variable data item that is incorporated into database queries, even if it is not obviously tainted, to prevent oversights occurring and avoid vulnerabilities being introduced by changes elsewhere within the code base of the application.

You should be aware that some commonly employed and recommended mitigations for SQL injection vulnerabilities are not always effective:

One common defence is to double up any single quotation marks appearing within user input before incorporating that input into a SQL query. This defence is designed to prevent malformed data from terminating the string in which it is inserted. However, if the data being incorporated into queries is numeric, then the defence may fail, because numeric data may not be encapsulated within quotes, in which case only a space is required to break out of the data context and interfere with the query. Further, in second-order SQL injection attacks, data that has been safely escaped when initially inserted into the database is subsequently read from the database and then passed back to it again. Quotation marks that have been doubled up initially will return to their original form when the data is reused, allowing the defence to be bypassed.
Another often cited defence is to use stored procedures for database access. While stored procedures can provide security benefits, they are not guaranteed to prevent SQL injection attacks. The same kinds of vulnerabilities that arise within standard dynamic SQL queries can arise if any SQL is dynamically constructed within stored procedures. Further, even if the procedure is sound, SQL injection can arise if the procedure is invoked in an unsafe manner using user-controllable data.

1.1. http://www.almanac.com/server-status [REST URL parameter 1] next

Summary

Severity:	High
Confidence:	Tentative
Host:	http://www.almanac.com
Path:	/server-status

Issue detail

The REST URL parameter 1 appears to be vulnerable to SQL injection attacks. The payloads 15683602'%20or%201%3d1--%20 and 15683602'%20or%201%3d2--%20 were each submitted in the REST URL parameter 1. These two requests resulted in different responses, indicating that the input is being incorporated into a SQL query in an unsafe way.

Note that automated difference-based tests for SQL injection flaws can often be unreliable and are prone to false positive results. You should manually review the reported requests and responses to confirm whether a vulnerability is actually present.

Issue detail

The REST URL parameter 1 appears to be vulnerable to SQL injection attacks. The payloads 86407274'%20or%201%3d1--%20 and 86407274'%20or%201%3d2--%20 were each submitted in the REST URL parameter 1. These two requests resulted in different responses, indicating that the input is being incorporated into a SQL query in an unsafe way.

Note that automated difference-based tests for SQL injection flaws can often be unreliable and are prone to false positive results. You should manually review the reported requests and responses to confirm whether a vulnerability is actually present.

1.12. http://www.qwickstep.com/server-status [REST URL parameter 1] previous next

Summary

Severity:	High
Confidence:	Firm
Host:	http://www.qwickstep.com
Path:	/server-status

Issue detail

The REST URL parameter 1 appears to be vulnerable to SQL injection attacks. The payload %2527 was submitted in the REST URL parameter 1, and a database error message was returned. You should review the contents of the error message, and the application's handling of other input, to confirm whether a vulnerability is present.

The database appears to be PostgreSQL.

The application attempts to block SQL injection attacks but this can be circumvented by double URL-encoding the blocked characters - for example, by submitting %2527 instead of the ' character.

Remediation detail

The application should handle errors gracefully and prevent SQL error messages from being returned in responses. There is probably no need to perform a second URL-decode of the value of REST URL parameter 1 as the web server will have already carried out one decode. In any case, the application should perform its input validation after any custom canonicalisation has been carried out.

1.13. http://www.smartertravel.com/server-status [REST URL parameter 1] previous next

Summary

Severity:	High
Confidence:	Tentative
Host:	http://www.smartertravel.com
Path:	/server-status

Issue detail

The REST URL parameter 1 appears to be vulnerable to SQL injection attacks. The payloads 61858445'%20or%201%3d1--%20 and 61858445'%20or%201%3d2--%20 were each submitted in the REST URL parameter 1. These two requests resulted in different responses, indicating that the input is being incorporated into a SQL query in an unsafe way.

Note that automated difference-based tests for SQL injection flaws can often be unreliable and are prone to false positive results. You should manually review the reported requests and responses to confirm whether a vulnerability is actually present.
