Poor thinking, security-wise. This still has a problem - if a remote attacker can find a way to bypass the authentication and cause an SQL injection, they can gain control, even if they can't find a way to bypass the authentication and seize control of the SQLManager tool you provided. If you need help in understanding why this is a problem, walk into your boss's office and ask: "OK, since I know you have tools to create and manage requests for stuff, there's no problem if I create some requests myself, and trick you into signing them to authorize doubling my salary and buying me a Porsche, right?" After all, since he was provided a tool to manage purchase orders, it's not a vulnerability if a fake one gets created, right? :) -------------- next part -------------- A non-text attachment was scrubbed...
