PHP - Avoding Injection
Hi,
I'm sure many of you heard of "pastebin", if not the short of it, is that you can submit your code (+100 languages), and you can display it to your friends via a link with syntax highlighting available. So, One way to store the code is surely in txt files, but I would really prefer to have it stored in a mysql database. My only concern is people trying to run a sql injection, so how do i get around all this? I don't want the user's content to be changed, but I don't want SQL injections either.. is this even possible at all? Any tips appreciated, also if you could think of another alternative than txt files and mysql. Similar TutorialsI'm confused, can this result in css/sql injection? Code: [Select] if(isset($_GET['action'])){ if($_GET['action'] == 'details'){ $cupID = $_GET['cupID']; $ergebnis = safe_query("SELECT gameaccID, name, start, ende, typ, game, `desc`, status, checkin, maxclan, gewinn1, gewinn2, gewinn3 FROM ".PREFIX."cups WHERE ID = '".$cupID."'"); $ds=mysql_fetch_array($ergebnis); ... Some german fellow was explaining, translate to English briefly: "$ CupID is not escaped. NEN here I could just "; DROP TABLE` cups `Paste and your table is no longer available eez. Or I could inject javascript, your current session read out, accept it and act as an admin ... " I am trying to understand what he means by this... is this query vulnerable to an injection and why/how? I am having a wamp issue so I can't try these out right now. According to the book I'm learning php with, I can easily avoid injection attacks this way:
$a= stripslashes($a);
$a= mysql_real_escape_string($a);
What concerns me is the repetition of the variable, $a. Does it matter? Intuitively, it should.
$a changes. By the time $a hits mysql_real_escape_string it is slash-free. So it is a totally different "value" but still contained in the original variable which may have had slashes...just has me concerned a bit.
I know PDOs are the best way. I'm not there yet, unfortunately.
Edited by baltar, 23 May 2014 - 10:36 AM. i just want to ask this simple question let say i have this basic query $place=$_GET['place']; mysql_query("SELECT * FROM table WHERE place='$place'"); this is a nice target for sql injection.. but what if i replace the whole special characters that could be added $replacethis=array("-","`"); $withthis=array("",""); $place=str_replace($replacethis,$withthis,$_GET['place']); mysql_query("SELECT * FROM table WHERE place='$place'"); Are they still able to do the basic sql injection by trying to get the error by adding special character although i didn't use mysql_real_escape_string() ?? then what if i protect the file by changing the setting of the permission to either 644 or 755? thanks in advance Will this prevent a SQL injection? I am guessing the answer is no because it is too simple. // retrieve form data ========================================== $ama = $_POST['ama']; // Check for alphanumeric characters ===================================== $string = "$ama"; $new_string = preg_replace("/[^a-zA-Z0-9\s]/", "", $string); // echo $new_string; // Send query =========================================================== $query = "SELECT * FROM members WHERE ama='$new_string'"; if (!mysql_query($query)){ die('Error :' .mysql_error()); } I want to know which part of my script has the hole..as i can find lots of php script and even folder can be injected into my public_html how they do that, and which part need to be checked? is that the upload part <enctype> or what?? thanks in advance Based on the comments on my previous question, took some tutorials on how to avoid injections on query. Does the code below prevents against it in any way.? Secondly, can you recommend a good article that writes well in how to secure input data by users. Please be kind with your comments.😉😉. Thankks in advance.
The code works fine. <?php include 'db.php'; error_reporting(E_ALL | E_WARNING | E_NOTICE); ini_set('display_errors', TRUE); if(isset($_POST['submit'])) { $username = $_POST['username']; $password = ($_POST['password']); $sql = "SELECT * FROM customer WHERE username = ?"; $stmt = $connection->prepare($sql); $stmt->bind_param('s', $username); $stmt->execute(); $result = $stmt->get_result(); $count = $result->num_rows; if($count == 1) { while ($row = $result->fetch_assoc()) { if ($row['status'] == 'blocked') { echo'your account is suspended' session_destroy(); exit(); } else if($row['status'] == 'active') { if($username !== $row['username']) { echo '<script>swal.fire("ERROR!!", " Username is not correct. Check Again", "error");</script>'; } if($password !== $row['password']) { echo'<script>swal.fire("ERROR!!!", "Your Password is Incorrect. Check Again.", "error");</script>'; } if($username == $row['username'] && $password == $row['password']) { header('Location:cpanel/'); else { } }//if count }//while loop }//submit ?>
I'm trying to use dependency injection to pass a database connection to an object but I'm not sure why it's not working. I have my "dbClass" below that connects to a MySQL database. Code: [Select] class dbClass { public $db; function __construct() { $this->db = mysql_connect("localhost","username","password") or die ('Could not connect: ' . mysql_error()); return $this->db; } } Then I have my "baseClass". This is the class that I want to feed to connection too. Code: [Select] class baseClass { public $mysql_conn; function __construct($db) { $this->mysql_conn = $db; $rs = mysql_select_db("webdev_db", $this->mysql_conn) or die ('Could not connect: ' . mysql_error()); } } And this is my index.php file. The error I'm getting is "supplied argument is not a valid MySQL-Link resource". However I tripled checked and my db connection details are definately correct. Code: [Select] $db = new dbClass(); $baseclass = new baseClass($db); Thanks for any help. Hello, I have a video game site - mostly vBulletin which is fine but there are a few extra bits to the site that I have done myself. I'm pretty new to PHP so my code isn't great. Anyway, I wanted to test my code for SQL Injection but I looked on Google and most of the tools seemed to come from hacker sites etc which I'm not downloading. I eventually found an addon for Firefox called SQL Inject Me and ran that. It said everything was alright but when I checked my MySQL tables they were full of junk code it had inserted. One of my pages doesn't even have any visible fields. It's just a page with a voting submit button and some hidden fields so how does it inject the code into the tables? The insert page code is: Code: [Select] $db = mysql_connect("localhost", "username", "password"); mysql_select_db("thedatabase",$db); $ipaddress = mysql_real_escape_string($_POST['ipaddress']); $theid = mysql_real_escape_string($_POST['theid']); $gamert = mysql_real_escape_string($_POST['gamert']); $serveron = mysql_real_escape_string($_POST['serveron']); $check= mysql_query("select * from voting2 where ipaddress='$ipaddress'"); $ipname = mysql_fetch_assoc($check); if($ipname['ipaddress'] == $ipaddress) { echo 'It appears you have already voted. Click <a href="vote.php">here</a> to return to the votes.'; } else { mysql_query ("INSERT INTO voting2 (theid,ipaddress,gamert,serveron2) VALUES ('$theid','$ipaddress','$gamert','$serveron')"); echo 'Your vote has been added. Click <a href="vote.php">here</a> to view the updated totals.'; } How can I make it safer against SQL injection? Thanks Trying to make my code more secure. This is what I currently have, which is not secure by any means: Code: [Select] $query1 = "SELECT COLUMN_NAME, DATA_TYPE, ORDINAL_POSITION, COLUMN_DEFAULT, CHARACTER_MAXIMUM_LENGTH, IS_NULLABLE FROM INFORMATION_SCHEMA.COLUMNS WHERE TABLE_NAME='$table'"; // Run PRO query $qresult1 = sqlsrv_query($dbPRO, $query1); if ($qresult1 === false) { exitWithSQLError('Retrieving schema failed.'); } This is how I changed it, Code: [Select] $query1 = "SELECT COLUMN_NAME, DATA_TYPE, ORDINAL_POSITION, COLUMN_DEFAULT, CHARACTER_MAXIMUM_LENGTH, IS_NULLABLE FROM INFORMATION_SCHEMA.COLUMNS WHERE TABLE_NAME=?"; $params = array(1, $table); // Run PRO query $qresult1 = sqlsrv_query($dbPRO, $query1, $params); if ($qresult1 === false) { exitWithSQLError('Retrieving schema failed.'); } but I'm getting this error: Code: [Select] SQL-Status: 22018 Code: 245 Message: [Microsoft][SQL Server Native Client 10.0][SQL Server]Conversion failed when converting the nvarchar value 'sysrscols' to data type int Please notice I am using sqlsrv_query function because my database engine is MS-SQL 2008. That's why I'm a bit confused. Most documentation online is pointed to MySQL. exitWithSQLError is a customized function of mine, so please ignore. Any help or hints is appreciated, Thanks, $_POST['user_name'] = "CLUEL3SS"; $_POST['user_pass'] = "test123"; $_POST['confirm_pass'] = "test123"; $_POST['user_email'] = "user@email.com"; $_POST['confirm_pass'] = 'user@email.com'; function testFunc($inputVars){ foreach($inputVars as $key=>$value){ $escapeData[$key] = mysql_real_escape_string($value); } return $escapeData; } var_dump(testFunc($_POST)); I'm trying to make a user system for my site and I want to make sure its secure enough to void off injection attackers. Any useful advice and and suggestions would be greatly appreciated! Thanks! Hi, I am using parameterized queries on my code, here's the relevant part Code: [Select] $params=$_POST['ITGtable']; $tsql2 = "SELECT COLUMN_NAME, DATA_TYPE, ORDINAL_POSITION, COLUMN_DEFAULT, CHARACTER_MAXIMUM_LENGTH, IS_NULLABLE FROM INFORMATION_SCHEMA.COLUMNS WHERE TABLE_NAME=?"; /* Execute the statement with the specified parameter value. Display the returned data if no errors occur. */ $stmt2 = sqlsrv_query( $conn, $tsql2, $params); if( $stmt2 === false ) { echo "Statement 2 could not be executed.\n"; die( print_r(sqlsrv_errors(), true)); } else { $qty = sqlsrv_fetch_array( $stmt2); } Do I really have to sanitize $_POST['ITGtable'] for apostrophe, semicolon, etc, to avoid SQL injection problems? Or just with above code I should be safer (I did not say safe) against SQL injection? And if the answer is "No", what could be the sanitize code of function? I am using sqlsrv and MS-SQL database engine; most of the functions we have for sanitize inputs on MySQL are not available for MS-SQL. Thanks in advance, been wondering about this for a while do I need to put the escape on each WHERE? or do i really only need to put it on the $_POST i can probably understand why i need it on $_GET also after WHERE. So wondering about the session id. Code: [Select] <?php mysql_query("UPDATE systems SET homes= $homes + '".mysql_real_escape_string($_POST['homes'])."' WHERE address = '".mysql_real_escape_string($_GET['planet'])."' AND id = '".($_SESSION['user_id'])."'"); ?> Hey Guys, Hope you are all having a great day I was hoping somebody could help me with preventing my blog from being attacked by SQL Injection. I made a simple blog in using PHP and MySQL but I keep getting spam comments (even though I use re-captcha) and some files were overwritten on my web server. For all my input I use mysql_real_escape_string but I still get the problem. I found a video on youtube that showed how to enter stuff on the address bar like "order by 2--" and "union all select...." after passing a variable etc, and all of the things in the video could be replicated on my site I am guessing that is my problem, but the video did not tell me how to resolve the issue and I am sick of having to delete hundreds of spam comments per day and check my web server for uploaded files. How can I stop people adding these commands to the address bar and getting data from my database? I really need your help Thanx, Jen Does this code have mySQL Injection vulnerability?
$query = "DELETE FROM `$table` WHERE `$column` IN('".implode("','",$array)."')";using php5, would this make the code more safe... foreach($array as $key=>$a){ $array[$key] = mysql_real_escape_string($a);} $query = "DELETE FROM `$table` WHERE `$column` IN('".implode("','",$array)."')";or is there another way to make the code safe? (I'm putting this in PHP since it's not a question specific to MySQL or other DB stuff.)
I have a page that uses the GET id to find a product. GET variables are sanitized, and the SQL string is escaped even though it's expecting a number only. So the code seems safe to me. I'm getting some error_log results that appear to be hack attempts:
SELECT I need to create an entity which models the connection between a PHP server and another device so that a web app can change the entity's properties which in turn will update the server DB as well as the other device. A little background information for context is as follows: When a socket clients connects to the PHP server, it will register by providing its GUID, and in turn the server will query its DB to identify the specific client. The client has various other properties associated with the socket connection such as reconnect_timeout, response_timeout, etc, and the associated values will also be stored in the server's DB. While all socket clients use the same approach to communicate to the PHP server, several "flavors" of socket clients exists which use a specific protocol (Modbus/RTU, Modbus/IP, ControlNet, BACnet/IP, BACnet/MSTP, KNX, DALI) to communicate to downstream devices. Based on the used protocol, there will be different properties as well as different methods (i.e. some protocols allow one to query the device to retrieve a list of available data). To create the entity using inheritance, I would likely do so whe class ModbusRtuSocketClient extends ModbusSocketClient (which extends SocketClient) class ModbusIpSocketClient extends ModbusSocketClient (which extends SocketClient) class ControlNetSocketClient extends SocketClient etc.. But instead of doing so by using inheritance, I am thinking that I should do so through injection. For instance, I create an object called SocketClient which just deals with that scope of work and is protocol agnostic. I also create a second object which deals with a given protocol such as ModbusRtuProtocol extends ModbusProtocol extends Protocol. I then do one of the following: $entity = new SocketClient(new ModbusRtuProtocol()); //or $entity = new ModbusRtuProtocol(new SocketClient()); //and do $entity->setSomeSocketClientProperty(123); $entity->getProperty()->setSomeSpecificProtocolProperty(321); $entity->updateEndDevice(); $entityManager->persist($entity); $entityManager->flush(); //or do $values=$entity->queryDevice();
PS. If you think I shouldn't be doing so through injection but through inheritance, please advise. Our admin panel for a gaming community was recently hit by a successful MySQL injection attack. Here are the parameters they entered into forms to gain access. Code: [Select] ${99319+100354} Code: [Select] <?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?> <!DOCTYPE acunetix [ <!ENTITY acunetixent SYSTEM "http://testphp.vulnweb.com/dot.gif"> ]> <xxx>&acunetixent;</xxx> Not sure which one worked, or how they even managed to POST to that page. But how do these two strings work? What do they do? im having some robots injecting gibberish i wnat to deny amy links in the requesttext of the form for some reason i tested it and it accepted a http link Code: [Select] if (preg_match("/http/i","$RequestText")){ exit();} thanks ok here is my comment protection >< very basic and simple but i just got htmlentitied lol =[ how do i protect against that? Code: [Select] if (isset($_POST['submit'])) { $comment= trim(stripslashes(mysql_real_escape_string($_POST['comment']))); this is my registration protection, sql can still get though >< it doesnt work ? Code: [Select] $_POST['pass'] = md5($_POST['pass']); if (!get_magic_quotes_gpc()) { $_POST['pass'] = trim(stripslashes(mysql_real_escape_string($_POST['pass']))); $_POST['username'] = trim(stripslashes(mysql_real_escape_string($_POST['username']))); } |
