It's a holiday in the US today, so we're reaching back into the archives. What we really need is a single function that can do it all, and by "it" we mean "ruin your life." Original --Remy
There are several types of bad code; there's lazy code, frantic code, unaware-of-a-better-way code, and aware-of-a-better-way-but-too-apathetic-to-do-it code, to name a few. Then there're amalgamations of different types of bad code.
Môshe encountered such an amalgam when his company was trying out a new delivery service. Môshe spent some time evaluating the IE-only web interface, and was curious about some JavaScript errors he was getting. Strangely, he noticed variables named dateSQL, newSQLTag, and modeSQL.
Môshe dug a little deeper, probably thinking that his suspicions couldn't possibly be correct, only to find sendLinkVal() in the page's code:
function sendLinkVal(theDate,theStatus,MainTitle,PageTitle){
var dateSQL = " AND J.JBDeliveryDate=''" + theDate +
"''"
var status = ""
var newSQLTag =""
var PageTitle = PageTitle
var MainTitle = MainTitle
//alert(dateSQL)
switch (theStatus){
case "Confirmed":
dateSQL= ""
var modeSQL = ""
modeSQL = " AND (J.JBCompanyID=31337) "
status = " GlobalJobStatusView AS J WHERE J.JBCollectDate=''
" + theDate + "'' AND J.JBConfirmed=''Yes'' AND
J.MIStatusCode<>5" + modeSQL + " AND
(ISNULL(J.JBCancelled, 0) <> 1) ORDER BY
Convert(int, J.MIJobID)"
break;

Môshe could replace his customer ID with any other and access customer data, and for that matter, to modify or delete whatever he wanted. He could add or remove columns to tables. He could possibly even change permissions, add his own database user and deny all other users access.
Shocked, Môshe called the delivery service, who got him in touch with the developer of the system. This developer was equally shocked to learn that it was even possible to view a web page's JavaScript code, let alone that his architecture was open to SQL injection attacks from virtually any angle. He took immediate and decisive action; all queries were moved to the .NET backend.
Of course, the queries still didn't use parameters and are therefore still open to SQL injection, but now it takes slightly more effort to hack.

Kijk dát je afscheid neemt van een tegendraadse bijna zeventigjarige columnist is natuurlijk dikke prima, en dat het is omdat je hem, zijn denkbeelden of z'n schrijfsels niet meer pruimt ook. Voorts behoren wij niet tot de groep die jankt dat we Trouw niet meer gaan lezen nu Ephimenco er niet meer in staat - we lazen Trouw sowieso al niet. Maar de manier waarop Ephimenco door glibberige gluiper Smouter en diens oma eruit is gewerkt is voor iemand die als hij klaarkomt heel hard 'CONSTRUCTIEVE JOURNALISTIEK!' roept wel tamelijk brisant: middels de bij DPG gekende publieke afrekening. Eerst de brieven, dan een openbare 'Vergeef ons Lezers, want Wij hebben Gezondigd', dan de ombudsman. En nu is er nog een soort eulogie, in de vorm van een aanklacht. Daarin lezen we wat gesputter over 'de feiten', een laatste trap na richting Ephimenco en het gebruik van het woord 'meerstemmig' in het kader van 'een verscheidenheid van inzichten'. In Trouw ja. Waarschijnlijk geloven ze het zelf.
AMSTERDAM (ANP/BLOOMBERG) - Door de hoop op vrede in het Midden-Oosten laten zowel de olie- als de gasprijzen maandagochtend stevige dalingen zien. De Verenigde Staten en Iran lijken na berichten van afgelopen weekend namelijk heel dicht bij een nieuw akkoord.
Amerikaanse olie werd maandagochtend tot bijna 6 procent goedkoper, terwijl Brent - de maatstaf voor olie uit onder meer het Midden-Oosten - dik 5 procent in prijs omlaag ging. De Europese gasprijs zakte kort na opening van de handel op de gasbeurs in Amsterdam rond de 6 procent.
Bij een deal tussen Iran en de VS wordt de Straat van Hormuz als het goed is heropend. Die voor de olie- en gasleveringen belangrijke zeestraat bij Iran is inmiddels al maanden vrijwel volledig geblokkeerd. Slechts af en toe varen er schepen doorheen.
Maar de Amerikaanse president Donald Trump heeft gewaarschuwd dat de blokkade van de Straat van Hormuz van kracht blijft totdat er echt een overeenkomst is bereikt. Hij wil niet "haasten" met een deal, die "nog niet eens volledig is uitonderhandeld".
Jair Ferwerda weet behoorlijk veel van BBB-voorvrouw Caroline van der Plas. Drie jaar geleden maakte Jaïr een documentaire over haar politieke partij en daardoor heeft hij Caroline van dichtbij meegemaakt. “Voor een Videoland-documentaire nam Caroline van der Plas van de BBB mij, augustus 2023, in vertrouwen: ik heb een premierskandidaat op het oog!”
“Caroline woont in een rijtjeshuis in Deventer, rookt en is een sloddervos. Mona is een propere Volendamse en háát roken. Een groter contrast bestaat niet. Dus Caroline pakt de zwabber en begint haar huis aan te vegen. Overal liggen nog brokken van de hond die al een half jaar was vertrokken op de grond.”
En dan? “Dan komt Mona aan, de deur gaat open en je ziet in haar ogen: in wat voor leven ben ik nu weer beland?! Nou, de rest is geschiedenis. De campagne werd een downfall.”
