Explorative Study of SQL Injection Attacks and Mechanisms to Secure Web Application Database- A Review

Abstract

The increasing innovations in web development technologies direct the augmentation of user friendly web applications. With activities like - online banking, shopping, booking, trading etc. these applications have become an integral part of everyone’s daily routine. The profit driven online business industry has also acknowledged this growth because a thriving application provides the global platform to an organization. Database of web application is the most valuable asset which stores sensitive information of an individual and of an organization. SQLIA is the topmost threat as it targets the database on web application. It allows the attacker to gain control over the application ensuing financial fraud, leak of confidential data and even deleting the database. The exhaustive survey of SQL injection attacks presented in this paper is based on empirical analysis. This comprises the deployment of injection mechanism for each attack with respective types on various websites, dummy databases and web applications. The paramount security mechanism for web application database is also discussed to mitigate SQL injection attacks.
