What are Code Injection Attacks?
Injection attacks are when attackers send malicious code that exploits the system, ranging from accessing data to using unauthorised commands. These present critical threats, with the likes of SQL (affects integrity and availability of data), Command (take control of systems) and XML (manipulation of processing data) injection methods.
Vulnerabilities for Code Injection Attacks
Common vulnerabilities for these attacks are seen within web applications, databases, operating systems, software applications, and web servers. These can lead to data breaches, unauthorised access of data, use of unauthorised commands and code, as well as enabling data to be corrupted, deleted, or modified.
Mitigating Code Injection Attacks
To help mitigate injection attacks, there are a few strong methods to help reduce the chances of this type of attack. Implementing validation for user inputs to process only safe inputs, securing coding practices by using prepared statements and parameterised queries, and regular security audits/updates to identify and rectify problems within the system are strong ways to reduce injection from occurring as often as possible.
