Discussion

Data mining is the analysis of large quantities of data to discover patterns and is used in intelligence gathering. Failure to detect attacks launched against organizational databases may result in the compromise of information. Injection attacks allow an attacker to inject code into a program or query or inject malware onto a computer to execute remote commands that can read or modify a database, or change data on a website. Web applications frequently access databases to store, retrieve, and update information. An attacker can construct inputs that the database will execute. This is most commonly referred to as a code injection attack. This type of attack includes XPath and LDAP injections.

Interview the device administrator to determine which WAF template is used for web servers where data can be entered and used in databases or other applications. Review the device configuration.

The following command displays WAF templates:
show slb template waf

If the configured WAF template does not have the "sqlia-check" option configured, this is a finding.
