The following interfaces are vulnerable to SQL injection: the search interface, news interface, the contact form, and the demo form. These interfaces do not use the same component, nor do they have filters, but each uses its own SQL concatenation method, resulting in SQL injection. In the demo interface, the SQL query can be found in the query parameter. In the news interface, the SQL query can be found in the query parameter. In the contact form, the SQL query can be found in the query parameter. The search interface does not have a query parameter, but it does have a search term. The search term can be found in the search input field. The demo form does not have a search input field, but it does have a search term. The search term can be found in the search input field.

Security impact of SQL injection in a single interface

The security impact of SQL injection in the demo form is that it allows an attacker to search for and view sensitive information such as password hashes. In the news interface, the security impact is that it allows an attacker to change user settings. In the contact form, the security impact is that it allows an attacker to send spam or other unsolicited messages. In the search interface, the security impact is unclear. The demo form does not have a search input field, but it does have a search term. The search term can be found in the search input field.

Authentication and Authorization

Authentication and authorization are a difficult problem for developers. Authentication is the process in which people confirm who they are before any access or functionality is granted. Authorization is the process of determining what an individual should be allowed to do based on their authentication status.
There are many different ways to authenticate users, such as username and password, token-based authentication, two-factor authentication, and IP address-based authentication. Furthermore, in most cases there are two levels of authorization: restricted and full access. Restricted authorization allows only certain actions to be performed, while full access allows all functions and actions to be performed.
When developing online interfaces that require authentication or authorization, it's important to remember that security is a factor in the design phase of your interface as well as throughout its lifetime. For example, if an administrator limits a user's ability to create content for security purposes (or for other reasons), then this limitation needs to be taken into consideration when creating new content objects for the user--if these objects have certain features that will be disabled upon creation, then this should also be accounted for early in development so that the limitations don't become more restrictive than necessary at a later date when writing code.

SQL Injection Using News Interface

The following is an example of SQL injection using the news interface:
1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10
SELECT * FROM a WHERE searchterm=%27" OR searchterm=" OR searchterm=%27" OR " OR searchterm=" OR " OR ' or '=%27 or ' or '=' or ''='

This would result in the following query being sent to the database:
1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10
SELECT * FROM a WHERE searchterm=%27" OR searchterm=" OR searchterm=%27" OR " OR searchterm=" OR " or ' or '='

Fixed in version 1.8.6
