injection attack (I thought I was protected!) <?php /**/eval(base64_decode( everywhere
- by Cyprus106
I've got a fully custom PHP site with a lot of database calls. I just got injection hacked. This little chunk of code below showed up in dozens of my PHP pages.
<?php /**/ eval(base64_decode(big string of code....
I've been pretty careful about my SQL calls and such; they're all in this format:
$query = sprintf("UPDATE Sales SET `Shipped`='1', `Tracking_Number`='%s' WHERE ID='%s' LIMIT 1 ;",
mysql_real_escape_string($trackNo),
mysql_real_escape_string($id));
$result = mysql_query($query);
mysql_close();
For the record, I rarely use mysql_close() at the end though. That just happened to be the code I grabbed. I can't think of any places where I don't use mysql_real_escape_string(), (although I'm sure there's probably a couple. I'll be grepping soon to find out) There's also no places where users can put in custom HTML or anything. In fact, most of the user-accessible pages, if they use SQL calls at all, are almost inevitably "SELECT * FROM" pages that use a GET or POST, depending.
Obviously I need to beef up my security, but I've never had an attack like this and I'm not positive what I should do. I've decided to put limits on all my inputs and go through looking to see if i missed a mysql_real_escape_string somewhere... Anybody else have any suggestions?
Also... what does this type of code do? Why is it there?
