SQL Injection

• Linux Suspicious Child Process of PostgreSQL :
  endpoint Endpoint None version:1
  The following analytic detects PostgreSQL spawning a shell, interpreter, or network utility as a child process. When an attacker exploits a remote code execution vulnerability in PostgreSQL (such as via malicious COPY TO/FROM PROGRAM, CVE-2019-9193, or an insecurely configured extension), the database process itself becomes the parent of attacker-controlled commands. Legitimate PostgreSQL processes do not normally fork shells or download tools, making this a high-fidelity signal for post-exploitation activity.


• SQL Injection with Long URLs :
  network Database Server None version:11
  The following analytic detects long URLs containing multiple SQL commands, indicating a potential SQL injection attack. This detection leverages web traffic data, specifically targeting web server destinations with URLs longer than 1024 characters or HTTP user agents longer than 200 characters. SQL injection is significant as it allows attackers to manipulate a web application's database, potentially leading to unauthorized data access or modification. If confirmed malicious, this activity could result in data breaches, unauthorized access, and complete system compromise. Immediate investigation and validation of alerts are crucial to mitigate these risks.
