What Is SQL Injection?
SQL injection happens when user input is concatenated into a database query instead of being passed as a parameter, letting an attacker change what the query does — read every row, dump credentials, modify data, or in some setups run commands on the server. It remains in the OWASP Top 10 because string-built queries keep getting written, especially in code that "just needed to filter by name". Parameterized queries are the fix; we test whether yours are.
How SQL Injection Shows Up
String-built queries
Interpolating user input into SQL (or using raw queries with concatenation) is the root cause across every language and ORM.
Blind & error-based variants
Even without visible output, attackers extract data via boolean/time-based responses or leaked database errors.
Authentication bypass
Injection in a login query can let an attacker log in as any user, including admin.
ORM escape hatches
Safe ORMs become unsafe the moment you drop to raw SQL or interpolate into a where clause.
How the Sable Scan Detects It
Parameter fuzzing
Our agents test input fields and API parameters for injection using safe, non-destructive payloads.
Error & timing analysis
We detect error-based and blind/time-based injection signals without altering your data.
Validated proof-of-concept
Confirmed findings come with a PoC and the exact remediation: parameterized queries.
