sql-injection-testing

sql-injection-testing is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from zebbern/claude-code-guide. It costs 77 tokens per session (2,739 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A guide to finding and demonstrating SQL injection, a flaw where untrusted input changes a database query. It covers testing web application parameters against several database systems and different injection methods.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it for authorized testing of web applications, including request manipulation, injection detection, exploitation checks, and security reporting.
Why use it?
It helps identify input-handling weaknesses that could let an attacker read, change, or interfere with database data.

About the project

Claude Code Guide is a reference collection for configuring and using Claude Code, Anthropic’s command-line coding agent. Developers use it to learn commands, skills, agents, MCP, automation, security, integrations, and troubleshooting. Its catalogue add-ons provide many of the documented skills and agents.

Token cost

What it costs to keep this loaded

Counted locally with the o200k_base tokenizer, which is exact for GPT models; Claude uses its own tokenizer and its counts differ. Treat this as one consistent yardstick across the catalogue rather than a bill. Prices are per million input tokens.

Security

Grade A, and why

sql-injection-testing scanned grade A with 0 findings against 26 rules in 11 categories — prompt injection, anti-refusal, data exfiltration, privilege escalation, supply chain, agent snooping, system-prompt leakage, SSRF and excessive agency — measured yesterday.

A static scan of the body, not an audit. Every finding is printed with the line that produced it so you can judge whether it matters here. A mod is markdown that instructs an agent; that is exactly why what it instructs is worth reading.

Nothing flagged

None of the 26 patterns this scan looks for appear in this file: no shell pipes, no recursive deletes, no credential paths, no hidden text, no instruction-override or anti-refusal phrasing, no agent-config snooping. That is not a guarantee, it is the absence of the things that are checkable.

SQL Injection Testing

Purpose

Execute comprehensive SQL injection vulnerability assessments on web applications to identify database security flaws, demonstrate exploitation techniques, and validate input sanitization mechanisms. This skill enables systematic detection and exploitation of SQL injection vulnerabilities across in-band, blind, and out-of-band attack vectors to assess application security posture.

Inputs / Prerequisites

Required Access

  • Target web application URL with injectable parameters
  • Burp Suite or equivalent proxy tool for request manipulation
  • SQLMap installation for automated exploitation
  • Browser with developer tools enabled

Technical Requirements

  • Understanding of SQL query syntax (MySQL, MSSQL, PostgreSQL, Oracle)
  • Knowledge of HTTP request/response cycle
  • Familiarity with database schemas and structures
  • Write permissions for testing reports

Legal Prerequisites

  • Written authorization for penetration testing
  • Defined scope including target URLs and parameters
  • Emergency contact procedures established
  • Data handling agreements in place

Outputs / Deliverables

Primary Outputs

  • SQL injection vulnerability report with severity ratings
  • Extracted database schemas and table structures
  • Authentication bypass proof-of-concept demonstrations
  • Remediation recommendations with code examples

Evidence Artifacts

  • Screenshots of successful injections
  • HTTP request/response logs
  • Database dumps (sanitized)
  • Payload documentation

Core Workflow

Phase 1: Detection and Reconnaissance

Identify Injectable Parameters

Locate user-controlled input fields that interact with database queries:

# Common injection points
- URL parameters: ?id=1, ?user=admin, ?category=books
- Form fields: username, password, search, comments
- Cookie values: session_id, user_preference
- HTTP headers: User-Agent, Referer, X-Forwarded-For
Test for Basic Vulnerability Indicators

Insert special characters to trigger error responses:
