SQL Injection: Hibernate
Using Hibernate to execute a dynamic SQL statement built with user-controlled input can allow an attacker to modify the statement's meaning or to execute arbitrary SQL commands.
Demonstrations
The following examples help to illustrate the nature of this weakness and describe methods or techniques which can be used to mitigate the risk.
Note that the examples here are by no means exhaustive and any given weakness may have many subtle varieties, each of which may require different detection methods or runtime controls.
Example One
The following code excerpt uses Hibernate's HQL syntax to build a dynamic query that's vulnerable to SQL injection.
String street = getStreetFromUser();
Query query = session.createQuery("from Address a where a.street='" + street + "'");See Also
