More than 2,60,000 merchants work on Magento globally and is used by more than 52 million customers. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This popularity brings the attention of attackers worldwide, which means attacks on magento2 stores are common.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-full\"><a href=\"https:\/\/cloudkul.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/10\/sql-jpg.webp\"><img data-dominant-color=\"64acee\" data-has-transparency=\"false\" style=\"--dominant-color: #64acee;\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"544\" height=\"269\" src=\"https:\/\/cloudkul.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/10\/sql-jpg.webp\" alt=\"sql\" class=\"not-transparent wp-image-17026\"\/><\/a><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>SQL Injection:<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>SQL injection is a web vulnerability that lets attackers manipulate database queries, potentially accessing data beyond normal user permissions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>A successful SQL injection attack on the <a href=\"https:\/\/store.webkul.com\/Magento-2.html\">Magento 2 store <\/a>can result in unauthorized access to sensitive data of other users like passwords, banking details, or personally identifiable information. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In some cases, attackers can:  <\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul>\n<li>Makes parament changes in the database.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Delete\/manipulate the entire database<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Steal user information, and leak admin credentials.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Obtain a reverse shell or a persistent backdoor into a store&#8217;s server.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>Please refer to the blog for further information about <a href=\"https:\/\/cloudkul.com\/blog\/injection-flaws-prevention-security\/\">Injection flaws<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>How to secure your magento2 store against SQL injection<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<h5 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>1. Use prepared statements and parameterized queries<\/strong><\/h5>\n\n\n\n<p>These are SQL statements that are sent to and parsed by the database server separately from any parameters. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The application creates an SQL command and sends it to the DBMS, leaving user-supplied parameters behind. The DBMS compiles the command without executing it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Later on, the application supplies values for the parameters, and the DBMS executes the statement.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h5 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>2. Escaping All User-Supplied Input<\/strong><\/h5>\n\n\n\n<p>Always consider user-supplied data malicious, and use input validation such as the mysql_real_escape_string() function to ensure that any evil characters like \u2018, \u201d, are not passed to any SQL query.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h5 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>3. Limit Privileges<\/strong><\/h5>\n\n\n\n<p>Always make sure that <a href=\"https:\/\/cloudkul.com\/blog\/data-encryption-at-rest-and-in-transit-protect-your-data\/\">data at rest<\/a> is encrypted using strong algorithms so that even if the Data gets compromised it is of no use without keys or the attackers need brute force to get information. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Use the least privilege principle for statements like Delete, Drop, Update, etc.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Although it&#8217;s not possible for every store owner to check against SQL vulnerabilities in their store.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In such cases, Webkul can help in the detection and in mitigation of vulnerabilities in the Magento 2 store through its <a href=\"https:\/\/store.webkul.com\/Ecommerce-Security-Audit-Basic-Plan.html\">basic security module<\/a> which can also be customized.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>To safeguard your Magento 2 store, check out our <a href=\"https:\/\/store.webkul.com\/magento2-security-extension.html\">Security Extension Suite for the Magento 2<\/a> module which is effective in blocking malicious users and in notifying admins for suspected login attempts. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Need Support?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Thank You for reading this Blog!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>For further more interesting blogs, keep in touch with us.
