### VLN-001: SQL Injection in Login Form

**Severity:** Critical | **CVSS:** 9.8 (AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:H/A:H)

**Affected Asset:** https://app.company.com/login

**OWASP Category:** A03:2021 - Injection

#### Description
A SQL injection vulnerability was identified in the login form's username 
parameter. This allows an unauthenticated attacker to bypass authentication, 
extract sensitive data from the database, or potentially execute commands 
on the underlying system.

#### Evidence

**Request:**
  
 
  
 
 
 
 
   
 
   http       
 
  
 
POST /api/login HTTP/1.1
Host: app.company.com
Content-Type: application/json

{"username": "admin'--", "password": "anything"}
 
 
  

**Response:**
  
 
  
 
 
 
 
   
 
   http       
 
  
 
HTTP/1.1 200 OK
Content-Type: application/json

{"status": "success", "user": "admin", "token": "eyJ..."}
 
 
  

**Screenshot:**
[Insert screenshot showing successful bypass]

#### Impact
- Authentication bypass allowing access to any user account
- Full database access including customer PII
- Potential remote code execution via xp_cmdshell (MSSQL)

#### Remediation

**Immediate:**
1. Implement parameterized queries / prepared statements
2. Add input validation for username field

**Code Example (Before - Vulnerable):**
  
 
  
 
 
 
 
   
 
   python       
 
  
 
query = f"SELECT * FROM users WHERE username = '{username}'"
cursor.execute(query)
 
 
  

**Code Example (After - Secure):**
  
 
  
 
 
 
 
   
 
   python       
 
  
 
query = "SELECT * FROM users WHERE username = %s"
cursor.execute(query, (username,))
 
 
  

**Long-term:**
- Implement Web Application Firewall (WAF) rules
- Enable SQL query logging and alerting
- Conduct code review of all database queries
