Jul 31, 2023 at 4:14 comment added AaronLS Kind of like when our narrative fields could never have the word "update" followed at any point by the word "where", otherwise the security software would cause the request to timeout and we'd spend weeks troubleshooting trying to figure out why a small fraction of requests were failing for specific users before I discovered the pattern. Preventing SQL injection is not something that's done in half measures. This smells of someone running security scanners without understanding the fundamentals of SQL injection attacks.
Feb 14, 2019 at 9:02 comment added Storm Muller I agree with your logic. I would have them try to execute a sql injection attack on a UAT/QA environment. Also they need to understand that user input is not dangerous, it's how it's processed that makes it potentially dangerous.
Feb 14, 2019 at 8:56 comment added Storm Muller I would be concerned if your pent testers think that preventing the user from submitting an apostrophe will somehow prevent sql injection attacks...
