HTTP: SQL Command Chain in URL Detection (2)
This signature detects a long SQL command sequence in a URL. Because SQL commands are not normally used in HTTP connections, this can indicate a SQL injection attack. This can also be a false positive. To reduce false positives, it is strongly recommended that these signatures only be used to inspect traffic from the Internet to your organization's Web servers that use SQL backend databases to generate content and not to inspect traffic going from your organization to the Internet.
Extended Description
By manipulating SQL queries in the URL, a malicious user is able to guide the execution flow of a SQL server to cause unexpected operations in the SQL backend. This results in data leaks, or false authentications.
