How to prevent SQL injection in PhalconPHP when using sql in model?
You should bind the query parameter to avoid an SQL injection. From what I can remember Phalcon can be a bit funny with putting the '%' wildcard in the conditions value so I put them in the bind. This would be better than just filtering the query. $tags = Tags::find(array(...
How to handle the SQL injection response for best practice
c#,asp.net,security,sql-injection
the back-end program will auto return the data of id=1 information to client side. IMO, this is a lame behavior for the backend. I'd say the page should detect the error and redirect the user to an error page. Nevertheless, based on that description it is not a valid...
Search query dynamically created is unsafe
When you are creating the clauses, use PDO::quote on the $word variable before adding it to the string, it will sanitize and escape the value. Then you don't need to bindParam with shortwords, but you get the same functionality. something like this should work: if (!in_array($word,array('and','the','him','her','for','new','you'))){ $safe = $conn->quote('%'.$word.'%'); $shortwords.=...

SQL Server Stored Procedure And SQL Injection
sql,sql-server,sql-server-2012,sql-injection,sql-insert
As for the stored procedures themselves. The first has no opportunity for SQL injection, because there is no dynamic SQL. The third has no opportunity for SQL injection, because the use of sp_executesql compiles the query with parameters and then inserts the values of parameters. The compilation logically happens before...
Is merging variables safe against SQL injection?
Your method is safe. Concatenation before insertion, while using prepared statements, doesn't matter. The prepared statement will prepare that entire $text value as a whole string for insertion - which is still separate from the query itself.
Securing a static SQL query from SQL Injection
java,mysql,prepared-statement,sql-injection,fortify
If you don't alter the SQL statements read from your file based on user input, then there is no SQL injection. On the other hand, if you don't have tight control over what can end up in this file (who can edit it?), then the whole program is a huge...
Omitting bindParam with PDO is safe?
php,mysql,security,pdo,sql-injection
This is still binding the values to a prepared statement. You are doing the same thing as if you were using the bindParam function. So the answer is yes it is just as safe. bindParam just allows for more functionality than simply binding with the execute function for example: $sth=$dbh->prepare("Select...

Why does using parameterized queries or entity framework prevent sql injection?

Your first example is parameterised and is not vulnerable to SQL injection.

Is it possible to install malicious code with a SQL injection attack
sql-server,security,sql-injection
Yes, SQL server can execute master..xp_cmdshell command which executes windows command line operations, allowing further taking over the server and installing things on it.
