DB error not handled by the web application

By
Incercam astazi sa caut care este cea mai buna ruta pentru a merge din Cluj-Napoca in Arad, iar domnul Google m-a dus la urmatoarea adresa url:
http://mersul-trenurilor.infoturism.ro/mersul_trenurilor_arad_cluj-napoca.php
Pagina returnata avea urmatorul continut:
SELECT DISTINCT traseu.id, traseu.ora, traseu.id_tren,
traseu.id_statie, gari.nume FROM traseu, gari
WHERE traseu.id_statie = gari.id
AND id_tren
IN (536,534,1834,1843,1766)
ORDER BY traseu.ordine, traseu.id1054
- Unknown column 'traseu.ora' in 'field list'
Rezultatul returnat mi s-a parut destul de dragut, mai ales ultima parte a sa. In mod normal ar fi trebuit sa vedem o pagina de eroare frumoasa, dar in schimb apare un SELECT, care ne expune o mica parte din baza de date.
O persoana cu putina imaginatie poate ar putea sa execute o comanda SQL precum un DELETE.
In cazul in care lucrati la o aplicatie de orice fel (in special web) nu uitati sa tratiti mesajele de eroare intr-un mod corespunzator, iar la un end-user sa nu afisati niciodate query din baza de date.
Un mesaj generic este mai mult decat suficient pentru un muritor.

    Vreun programator PHP care nu o auzit de set_error_handler.. - macar in ASP.NET avem customErrors care are valoarea implicita remoteOnly, deci si daca programtrul uita, e cat de cat safe by default daca nu s-a jucat la customErrors.

Windows Docker Containers can make WIN32 API calls, use COM and ASP.NET WebForms

By
After the last post , I received two interesting questions related to Docker and Windows. People were interested if we do Win32 API calls from a Docker container and if there is support for COM. WIN32 Support To test calls to WIN32 API, let’s try to populate SYSTEM_INFO class. [StructLayout(LayoutKind.Sequential)] public struct SYSTEM_INFO { public uint dwOemId; public uint dwPageSize; public uint lpMinimumApplicationAddress; public uint lpMaximumApplicationAddress; public uint dwActiveProcessorMask; public uint dwNumberOfProcessors; public uint dwProcessorType; public uint dwAllocationGranularity; public uint dwProcessorLevel; public uint dwProcessorRevision; } ... [DllImport("kernel32")] static extern void GetSystemInfo(ref SYSTEM_INFO pSI); ... SYSTEM_INFO pSI = new SYSTEM_INFO(...

How to audit an Azure Cosmos DB

By
In this post, we will talk about how we can audit an Azure Cosmos DB database. Before jumping into the problem let us define the business requirement: As an Administrator I want to be able to audit all changes that were done to specific collection inside my Azure Cosmos DB. The requirement is simple, but can be a little tricky to implement fully. First of all when you are using Azure Cosmos DB or any other storage solution there are 99% odds that you’ll have more than one system that writes data to it. This means that you have or not have control on the systems that are doing any create/update/delete operations. Solution 1: Diagnostic Logs Cosmos DB allows us activate diagnostics logs and stream the output a storage account for achieving to other systems like Event Hub or Log Analytics. This would allow us to have information related to who, when, what, response code and how the access operation to our Cosmos DB was done. Beside this there is a field that specifies what was th...

Cloud Myths: Cloud is Cheaper (Pill 1 of 5 / Cloud Pills)

By
Cloud Myths: Cloud is Cheaper (Pill 1 of 5 / Cloud Pills) The idea that moving to the cloud reduces the costs is a common misconception. The cloud infrastructure provides flexibility, scalability, and better CAPEX, but it does not guarantee lower costs without proper optimisation and management of the cloud services and infrastructure. Idle and unused resources, overprovisioning, oversize databases, and unnecessary data transfer can increase running costs. The regional pricing mode, multi-cloud complexity, and cost variety add extra complexity to the cost function. Cloud adoption without a cost governance strategy can result in unexpected expenses. Improper usage, combined with a pay-as-you-go model, can result in a nightmare for business stakeholders who cannot track and manage the monthly costs. Cloud-native services such as AI services, managed databases, and analytics platforms are powerful, provide out-of-the-shelve capabilities, and increase business agility and innovation. H...
