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.

Why Database Modernization Matters for AI

By
  When companies transition to the cloud, they typically begin with applications and virtual machines, which is often the easier part of the process. The actual complexity arises later when databases are moved. To save time and effort, cloud adoption is more of a cloud migration in an IaaS manner, fulfilling current, but not future needs. Even organisations that are already in the cloud find that their databases, although “migrated,” are not genuinely modernised. This disparity becomes particularly evident when they begin to explore AI technologies. Understanding Modernisation Beyond Migration Database modernisation is distinct from merely relocating an outdated database to Azure. It's about making your data layer ready for future needs, like automation, real-time analytics, and AI capabilities. AI needs high throughput, which can be achieved using native DB cloud capabilities. When your database runs in a traditional setup (even hosted in the cloud), in that case, you will enc...

Cloud Myths: Migrating to the cloud is quick and easy (Pill 2 of 5 / Cloud Pills)

By
The idea that migration to the cloud is simple, straightforward and rapid is a wrong assumption. It’s a common misconception of business stakeholders that generates delays, budget overruns and technical dept. A migration requires laborious planning, technical expertise and a rigorous process.  Migrations, especially cloud migrations, are not one-size-fits-all journeys. One of the most critical steps is under evaluation, under budget and under consideration. The evaluation phase, where existing infrastructure, applications, database, network and the end-to-end estate are evaluated and mapped to a cloud strategy, is crucial to ensure the success of cloud migration. Additional factors such as security, compliance, and system dependencies increase the complexity of cloud migration.  A misconception regarding lift-and-shits is that they are fast and cheap. Moving applications to the cloud without changes does not provide the capability to optimise costs and performance, leading to ...

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...
