CX SQL_Injection @ src/main/java/org/owasp/webgoat/lessons/sqlinjection/mitigation/SqlOnlyInputValidationOnKeywords.java [main]

[dimihycks]

SQL_Injection issue exists @ src/main/java/org/owasp/webgoat/lessons/sqlinjection/mitigation/SqlOnlyInputValidationOnKeywords.java in branch main

The application's injectableQuery method executes an SQL query with executeQuery, at line 74 of src\main\java\org\owasp\webgoat\lessons\sqlinjection\advanced\SqlInjectionLesson6a.java. The application constructs this SQL query by embedding an untrusted string into the query without proper sanitization. The concatenated string is submitted to the database, where it is parsed and executed accordingly.An attacker would be able to inject arbitrary syntax and data into the SQL query, by crafting a malicious payload and providing it via the input userId; this input is then read by the attack method at line 52 of src\main\java\org\owasp\webgoat\lessons\sqlinjection\mitigation\SqlOnlyInputValidationOnKeywords.java. This input then flows through the code, into a query and to the database server - without sanitization.This may enable an SQL Injection attack.Similarity ID: -1393201156
