The SPI Labs whitepaper on SQL injection has been released. It is
available in PDF format from:
http://www.spidynamics.com/papers/SQLInjectionWhitePaper.pdf
Here's the overview:
SQL injection is a technique for exploiting web applications
that use client-supplied data in SQL queries without stripping illegal
characters first. Despite being remarkably simple to protect against, there
is an astonishing number of production systems connected to the Internet
that are vulnerable to this type of attack. The objective of this paper is
to educate the professional security community on the techniques that can be
used to take advantage of a web application that is vulnerable to SQL
injection as well as make clear the correct mechanisms that should be put in
place to protect against SQL injection, as well as input validations
problems in general.
