Signature Detail

HTTP: PL/SQL Command in URL

This signature detects a PL/SQL block in the URL. This can indicate a SQL injection attack on a database such as Oracle. It 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

The presence of Oracle stored procedure keywords in client-to-server HTTP traffic could indicate a SQL injection attack is being attempted.
