Abstract

System, method and program product for detecting a malicious SQL query in a parameter value field of a request. The parameter value field is searched for query operands, characters and/or symbols and combinations of query operands, characters and/or symbols indicative of malicious SQL injection. A respective score assigned to each of the query operands, characters and/or symbols or combinations of query operands, characters and/or symbols found in the parameter value field is added to yield a total score for at least two of the query operands, characters and/or symbols or combinations of query operands, characters and/or symbols found in the parameter value field. Responsive to the total score exceeding a threshold, the request is blocked.
