>David, >Actually, to nitpick your comment a bit, stored procedures usually have typed input variables: >create procedure foo ( a int, b varchar(20) ) as ... This has no bearing on the issue. If from the code of the app I perform something like strSQL = "exec foo(" & request.querystring("a") & "," & request.querystring("b") & ")" Conn.execute(strSQL) then I can either set a in the query string to ?a=1,'foo');exec+master..xp_cmdshell+'dir'--&b=foo Or alternatively I can set b in the query string to ?a=1&b=foo');exec+master..xmp_cmdshell+'dir'-- Either way I'm using a stored procedure and I can inject into the app. Cheers, David
