How do I test for SQL Injection

[Scalemotorcars]

I just got a DB error and searched the IP it came from and its been reported for SQL Injection. Is there a way to test to see if they were successful?

Thanks.

[Scalemotorcars]

Anyone have a clue?

[Scalemotorcars]

I changed the DB table ID but her you go. And thanks for looking at it.

You can use these to scan for anything suspicious.

SELECT title, phpcode, hookname, product FROM plugin WHERE phpcode LIKE '%base64%' OR phpcode LIKE '%exec%' OR phpcode LIKE '%system%' OR phpcode like '%pass_thru%' OR phpcode like '%iframe%';

SELECT styleid, title, template FROM template WHERE template LIKE '%base64%' OR template LIKE '%exec%' OR template LIKE '%system%' OR template like '%pass_thru%' OR template like '%iframe%';

Did you locate anything in the apache/nginx etc log related to that attempted post in the cms for that time stamp?

[Scalemotorcars]

Well, using PHPmyadmin I found the below items.

I'm not sure how to do the search you're referring to. And not sure how to check apache/nginx. In laymen's terms, please.

And thanks for the help.

%base64% in _searchcore_text, _pmtext, and _post

%exec% in _autosave, _cache, _cacheevent, _widgetconfig, _widgettype, _cronlog, _datastore, dbtech_dbseo_resolvedurl, iei_img, _language, _phrase, _plugin, _pmtext, _post, _postedithistory, _productcode, _searchcore_text, _searchgroup_text, _style, _template, _templatehistory, _thread, _user

I believe (pretty sure) he gave you SQL queries you can run via ACP.

[Scalemotorcars]

Not sure how to check in the ACP. Step by step if its not to much hassle.

Thanks

ACP>Maintenance>Execute SQL Query

One at a time, paste his queries into the manual query box and click "Continue."

You have to be a Super Admin with query running permissions as defined in includes/config.php or nothing will happen, except it will let you know you don't have permission to run queries.

I tried

SELECT title, phpcode, hookname, product FROM plugin WHERE phpcode LIKE '%base64%'

This returned an error number: 1146

Did I get the query wrong?

Sorry I feel like a total noob. You would think after 12 years I would know how to do this.
