CX SQL_Injection @ src/main/webapp/vulnerability/csrf/changepassword.jsp [master]

[kmcdon83]

SQL_Injection issue exists @ src/main/webapp/vulnerability/csrf/changepassword.jsp in branch master

The application's stmt.executeUpdate method executes an SQL query with executeUpdate, at line 40 of src\main\webapp\vulnerability\csrf\changepassword.jsp. The application constructs this SQL query by embedding an untrusted string into the query without proper sanitization. The concatenated string is submitted to the database, where it is parsed and executed accordingly.
The attacker would be able to inject arbitrary data into the SQL query, by simply altering the user input ""password"", which is read by the pass=request.getParameter method at line 33 of src\main\webapp\vulnerability\csrf\changepassword.jsp. This input then flows through the code to the database server, without sanitization.
This may enable an SQL Injection attack.
