CX SQL_Injection @ src/main/webapp/vulnerability/forum.jsp [master]

[satyamchaurasiapersistent]

SQL_Injection issue exists @ src/main/webapp/vulnerability/forum.jsp in branch master

The application's stmt.executeUpdate method executes an SQL query with executeUpdate, at line 48 of src\main\webapp\vulnerability\forum.jsp. 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 ""content""; this input is then read by the content=request.getParameter method at line 42 of src\main\webapp\vulnerability\forum.jsp. This input then flows through the code, into a query and to the database server - without sanitization. This may enable an SQL Injection attack.
