What they could let someone do.
What could happen
- Database injection
Someone could read or change what is in the site's database: customer details, orders, password records, or a new administrator account.
How: The software builds its questions to the database out of what visitors type, so carefully written input changes the question itself.
Read about it here - Knocking it over
Someone could slow the site down or stop it answering, by sending requests that use up all its memory or time.
How: Certain input makes the software do far more work than it should, so a handful of requests is enough to tie it up.
Read about it here - Reading files
Someone could read files on the server they should never see, such as the settings file holding the database password, or delete files the site needs.
How: The software takes a file name from a request and does not check that it stays inside its own folder.
