Unable to get a SQLite db output because of multiple targets mode

[vijayee]

Describe the bug I'm unable to get a sqlite db output from sqlmap due to it always being in multiple targets mode which appears to require csv output. There is a line of code that always is triggered regardless of the number of targets specified in the command. This is line 1783 in option.py where conf.stdinPipe is always set evaluating it to true.

    if any((conf.googleDork, conf.logFile, conf.bulkFile, conf.forms, conf.crawlDepth, conf.stdinPipe)):
        conf.multipleTargets = True

To Reproduce python3 sqlmap.py --drop-set-cookie --threads=2 --level=5 --risk=3 --technique=U -p "username,password" -u "http://localhost:3000/?username=absolom&password=chinchillareque" -method POST --dump-format=SQLITE

Expected behavior I would expect the end result to be output to a db file rather than a csv file

Running environment:

• sqlmap version 1.8
• git
• Ubuntu 22.04
• python 3.10.12

Target details:

• Postgres
• locals webserver nodejs/express
• WAF/IPS : none

I guess that you guessed that for some reason sqlmap thinks that your STDIN is being redirected through PIPE to sqlmap. Especially in Linux/Ubuntu, it is hard to imagine that that could be happening out of the blue (i.e. without any reasonable explanation)

Anyhow, you can try to "override" such behavior with (hidden switch) --ignore-stdin.

This worked quite well. Thanks for your help @stamparm
