SQL Injection is an attack that poisons dynamic SQL statements to comment out certain parts of the statement or appending a condition that will always be true. How SQL Injection Works […]
Blind SQL injection vectors are considered either partial-blind or full-blind in terms of feedback provided to the attacker. Often SQL injection vulnerabilities will be blind when the web application is configured to show only generic error messages, but has not mitigated the SQL injection vulnerability, or when injecting into an INSERT statement where the attacker […]
Python’s built-in URL library (“urllib2” in 2.x and “urllib” in 3.x) is vulnerable to protocol stream injection attacks (a.k.a. “smuggling” attacks) via the http scheme. If an attacker could convince a Python application using this library to fetch an arbitrary URL, or fetch a resource from a malicious web server, then these injections could allow […]
Before we move on to the MongoDb injections, we must understand what MongoDb exactly is and why we prefer it over other databases. As MongoDb does not use SQL people assumed it is not vulnerable to any kind of injection attacks. But believe me, no one is born with inbuilt security aspects. We have to […]
