$id = $_GET['id']; $stmt = $conn->prepare("SELECT * FROM products WHERE id = ?"); $stmt->bind_param("i", $id); $stmt->execute(); Never trust user input. If id is supposed to be a number, cast it to an integer:
Introduction In the world of cybersecurity, Open Source Intelligence (OSINT) and ethical hacking often begin with a simple Google search. One of the most powerful, yet misunderstood, tools in a security researcher’s arsenal is the Google search operator. Among these, the inurl operator allows users to find specific strings within the URLs of websites. inurl -.com.my index.php id
SELECT * FROM products WHERE id = $_GET['id']; If the developer trusts the user and directly places the id from the URL into the SQL query, an attacker can modify the id parameter to alter the query logic. Using the search above, a black-hat hacker might find: http://vulnerable-site.com/index.php?id=5 $id = $_GET['id']; $stmt = $conn->prepare("SELECT * FROM
$id = $_GET['id']; $query = "SELECT * FROM products WHERE id = $id"; Among these, the inurl operator allows users to
$id = (int) $_GET['id']; Attackers rely on database error messages. In your php.ini file, set:
display_errors = Off log_errors = On WAFs like Cloudflare, ModSecurity, or Sucuri can automatically block SQLi patterns, including attempts to manipulate index.php?id . 5. Remove Your URLs from Google If you have fixed the vulnerability but old, vulnerable URLs are still indexed, use Google Search Console to request removal of those specific URLs. You can also use robots.txt to disallow crawling of dynamic parameters:
Wait—so why does the query say -.com.my ? This is likely an attempt to bypass Google’s auto-correction or to filter out specific domains. Actually, a space is missing. The intent is likely inurl: -.com.my , meaning: Exclude any URLs that contain ".com.my" .
