A SQL injection is often used to attack the security of a website by inputting SQL statements in a web form to get a badly designed website to perform operations on the database (often to dump the database content to the attacker) other than the usual operations as intended by the designer. SQL injection is a code injection technique that exploits a security vulnerability in a website's software. The vulnerability happens when user input is either incorrectly filtered for string literal escape characters embedded in SQL statements or user input is not strongly typed and unexpectedly executed. SQL commands are thus injected from the web form into the database of an application (like queries) to change the database content or dump the database information like credit card or passwords to the attacker. SQL injection is mostly known as an attack vector for websites but can be used to attack any type of SQL database.

Using well-designed query language interpreters can prevent SQL injections. In the wild, it has been noted that applications experience, on average, 71 attempts an hour.^[1] When under direct attack, some applications occasionally came under aggressive attacks and at their peak, were attacked 800–1300 times per hour.^[1]

Forms of vulnerability

SQL Injection Attack (SQLIA) is considered one of the top 10 web application vulnerabilities of 2007 and 2010 by the Open Web Application Security Project.^[2] The attacking vector contains five main sub-classes depending on the technical aspects of the attack's deployment:^{[citation needed]}

Classic SQLIA
Inference SQL Injection
Interacting with SQL Injection
DBMS specific SQLIA
Compounded SQLIA

Some security researchers propose that Classic SQLIA is outdated^[3] though many web applications are not hardened against them. Inference SQLIA is still a threat, because of its dynamic and flexible deployment as an attacking scenario. The DBMS specific SQLIA should be considered as supportive regardless of the utilization of Classic or Inference SQLIA. Compounded SQLIA is a new term derived from research on SQL Injection Attacking Vector in combination with other different web application attacks as:

SQL Injection + Insufficient authentication^[4]
SQL Injection + DDos attacks^[5]
SQL Injection + DNS Hijacking^[6]
SQL Injection + XSS^[7]

A complete overview of the SQL Injection classification is presented in the next figure. The Storm Worm is one representation of Compounded SQLIA.^[8]

This classification represents the state of SQLIA, respecting its evolution until 2010—further refinement is underway.^[9]

Technical Implementations

Incorrectly filtered escape characters

This form of SQL injection occurs when user input is not filtered for escape characters and is then passed into an SQL statement. This results in the potential manipulation of the statements performed on the database by the end-user of the application.

The following line of code illustrates this vulnerability

statement = "SELECT * FROM users WHERE name = '" + userName + "';"

This SQL code is designed to pull up the records of the specified username from its table of users. However, if the "userName" variable is crafted in a specific way by a malicious user, the SQL statement may do more than the code author intended. For example, setting the "userName" variable as

' or '1'='1

Or using comments to even block the rest of the query (there are three types of SQL comments):^[10]

' or '1'='1' -- '
' or '1'='1' ({ '
' or '1'='1' /* '

renders one of the following SQL statements by the parent language:

SELECT * FROM users WHERE name = '' or '1'='1';

SELECT * FROM users WHERE name = '' or '1'='1' -- ';

If this code were to be used in an authentication procedure then this example could be used to force the selection of a valid username because the evaluation of '1'='1' is always true.

The following value of "userName" in the statement below would cause the deletion of the "users" table as well as the selection of all data from the "userinfo" table (in essence revealing the information of every user), using an API that allows multiple statements:

a';DROP TABLE users; SELECT * FROM userinfo WHERE 't' = 't

This input renders the final SQL statement as follows and specified:

SELECT * FROM users WHERE name = 'a';DROP TABLE users; SELECT * FROM userinfo WHERE 't' = 't';

While most SQL server implementations allow multiple statements to be executed with one call in this way, some SQL APIs such as PHP's mysql_query(); function do not allow this for security reasons. This prevents attackers from injecting entirely separate queries, but doesn't stop them from modifying queries.

Blind SQL injection

Blind SQL Injection is used when a web application is vulnerable to an SQL injection but the results of the injection are not visible to the attacker. The page with the vulnerability may not be one that displays data but will display differently depending on the results of a logical statement injected into the legitimate SQL statement called for that page. This type of attack can become time-intensive because a new statement must be crafted for each bit recovered. There are several tools that can automate these attacks once the location of the vulnerability and the target information has been established.^[11]

Conditional responses

One type of blind SQL injection forces the database to evaluate a logical statement on an ordinary application screen.

SELECT booktitle FROM booklist WHERE bookId = 'OOk14cd' AND '1'='1';

will result in a normal page while

SELECT booktitle FROM booklist WHERE bookId = 'OOk14cd' AND '1'='2';

will likely give a different result if the page is vulnerable to a SQL injection. An injection like this may suggest to the attacker that a blind SQL injection is possible, leaving the attacker to devise statements that evaluate to true or false depending on the contents of another column or table outside of the SELECT statement's column list.^[12]

SELECT 1/0 FROM users WHERE username='ooo';

Another type of blind SQL injection uses a conditional timing delay on which the attacker can learn whether the SQL statement resulted in a true or in a false condition ^[13]

Mitigation

Parameterized statements

With most development platforms, parameterized statements can be used that work with parameters (sometimes called placeholders or bind variables) instead of embedding user input in the statement. In many cases, the SQL statement is fixed, and each parameter is a scalar, not a table. The user input is then assigned (bound) to a parameter.

Enforcement at the coding level

Using object-relational mapping libraries avoids the need to write SQL code. The ORM library in effect will generate parameterized SQL statements from object-oriented code.

Escaping

A straightforward, though error-prone, way to prevent injections is to escape characters that have a special meaning in SQL. The manual for an SQL DBMS explains which characters have a special meaning, which allows creating a comprehensive blacklist of characters that need translation. For instance, every occurrence of a single quote (') in a parameter must be replaced by two single quotes ('') to form a valid SQL string literal. For example, in PHP it is usual to escape parameters using the function mysql_real_escape_string(); before sending the SQL query:

$query = sprintf("SELECT * FROM `Users` WHERE UserName='%s' AND Password='%s'",
                  mysql_real_escape_string($Username),
                  mysql_real_escape_string($Password));
mysql_query($query);

This function, i.e. mysql_real_escape_string(), calls MySQL's library function mysql_real_escape_string, which prepends backslashes to the following characters: \x00, \n, \r, \, ', " and \x1a. This function must always (with few exceptions) be used to make data safe before sending a query to MySQL.^[14]
There are other functions for many database types in PHP such as pg_escape_string() for PostgreSQL. There is, however, one function that works for escaping characters, and used especially for injection in the databases that do not have escaping functions in PHP. This function is: addslashes(string $str ). It returns a string with backslashes before characters that need to be quoted in database queries etc. These characters are single quote ('), double quote ("), backslash (\) and NUL (the NULL byte).^[15]
Routinely passing escaped strings to SQL is error prone because it is easy to forget to escape a given string. Creating a transparent layer to secure the input can reduce this error-proneness, if not entirely eliminate it.^[16]

Database Permissions

Limiting the permissions on the database logon used by the web application to only what is needed may help reduce the effectiveness of any SQL injection attacks that exploit any bugs in the web application.

For example on SQL server, a database logon could be restricted from selecting on some of the system tables which would limit exploits that try into insert JavaScript into all the text columns in the database.

deny select on sys.sysobjects to webdatabaselogon;
deny select on sys.objects to webdatabaselogon;
deny select on sys.tables to webdatabaselogon;
deny select on sys.views to webdatabaselogon;

In May 2008, a server farm inside China used automated queries to Google's search engine to identify SQL server websites which were vulnerable to the attack of an automated SQL injection tool.^[23]^[25]
In 2008, at least April through August, a sweep of attacks began exploiting the SQL injection vulnerabilities of Microsoft's IIS web server and SQL Server database server. The attack does not require guessing the name of a table or column, and corrupts all text columns in all tables in a single request.^[26] A HTML string that references a malware JavaScript file is appended to each value. When that database value is later displayed to a website visitor, the script attempts several approaches at gaining control over a visitor's system. The number of exploited web pages is estimated at 500,000.^[27]
On August 17, 2009, the United States Justice Department charged an American citizen Albert Gonzalez and two unnamed Russians with the theft of 130 million credit card numbers using an SQL injection attack. In reportedly "the biggest case of identity theft in American history", the man stole cards from a number of corporate victims after researching their payment processing systems. Among the companies hit were credit card processor Heartland Payment Systems, convenience store chain 7-Eleven, and supermarket chain Hannaford Brothers.^[28]
In December 2009, an attacker breached a RockYou plaintext database containing the unencrypted usernames and passwords of about 32 million users using an SQL injection attack.^[29]

He gained access to the site's administrative control panel and exploited a SQL injection vulnerability that enabled him to collect user account information, including IP addresses, MD5 password hashes and records of which torrents individual users have uploaded.^[30]
On July 24–26, 2010, attackers from within Japan and China used an SQL injection to gain access to customers' credit card data from Neo Beat, an Osaka-based company that runs a large online supermarket site. The attack also affected seven business partners including supermarket chains Izumiya Co, Maruetsu Inc and Ryukyu Jusco Co. The theft of data affected a reported 12,191 customers. As of August 14, 2010 it was reported that there have been more than 300 cases of credit card information being used by third parties to purchase goods and services in China.

On June 1, 2011, "hacktivists" of the group Lulzsec were accused of using SQLI to steal coupons, download keys, and passwords that were stored in plaintext on Sony's website, accessing the personal information of a million users.^[40]^[41]
In June, 2011, PBS was hacked, mostly likely through use of SQL injection. The full process used by hackers to execute SQL injections was described in this Imperva blog.^[42]
On June 27, 2011, Lady Gaga's website was hacked by a group of US cyber attackers called SwagSec and thousands of her fans’ personal details were stolen from her website. The hackers took a content database dump from www.ladygaga.co.uk and a section of email, first name, and last name records were accessed.^[43] According to an Imperva blog about the incident, a SQL injection vulnerability for her website was recently posted on a hacker forum website, where a user revealed the vulnerability to the rest of the hacker community. While no financial records were compromised, the blog implies that Lady Gaga fans are most likely receiving fraudulent email messages offering exclusive Lady Gaga merchandise, but instead contain malware.^[44]

 While most SQL server implementations allow multiple statements to be executed with one call in this way, some SQL APIs such as [[PHP]]'s <code>mysql_query();</code> function do not allow this for security reasons. This prevents attackers from injecting entirely separate queries, but doesn't stop them from modifying queries.

-=== Incorrect type handling ===
-This form of SQL injection occurs when a user-supplied field is not [[strongly typed]] or is not checked for [[data type|type]] constraints. This could take place when a numeric field is to be used in a SQL statement, but the programmer makes no checks to validate that the user supplied input is numeric. For example:
-<source lang="pascal">statement := "SELECT * FROM userinfo WHERE id = " + a_variable + ";"</source>
-It is clear from this statement that the author intended a_variable to be a number correlating to the "id" field. However, if it is in fact a [[String (computer science)|string]] then the [[end-user]] may manipulate the statement as they choose, thereby bypassing the need for escape characters. For example, setting a_variable to
-<pre>1;DROP TABLE users</pre>
-will drop (delete) the "users" table from the database, since the SQL would be rendered as follows:
-<source lang="sql">SELECT * FROM userinfo WHERE id=1;DROP TABLE users; </source>
 === Blind SQL injection ===
