I am executing MS SQL Server SPROCSs through a Perl program. The critical piece of code that sets up the execute statement follows:
$Command = join(' ',
'EXEC',
$SPROC,
join(', ',
@CHOICE[1 .. $elements_in_array])) . '';
I really want advice on the best way of preventing a malicious injection attack or some other attack. I guess that it might be an idea to limit the SPROCs that can be called. It might be an idea to make it impossible to activate any SPROC that is a system SPROC. That would require screening of the $SPROC variable. Should I exclude the possibility of @CHOICE containing a variable that has DELETE in it. Or a variable that has ‘;’ in it. Is there anything else that I should do?

Posts may use any of the Perl Monks Approved HTML tags. Currently these include the following:
<code> <a> <b> <big>
<blockquote> <br /> <dd>
<dl> <dt> <em> <font>
<h1> <h2> <h3> <h4>
<h5> <h6> <hr /> <i>
<li> <nbsp> <ol> <p>
<small> <strike> <strong>
<sub> <sup> <table>
<td> <th> <tr> <tt>
<u> <ul>
-
Snippets of code should be wrapped in
<code> tags not
<pre> tags. In fact, <pre>
tags should generally be avoided. If they must
be used, extreme care should be
taken to ensure that their contents do not
have long lines (<70 chars), in order to prevent
horizontal scrolling (and possible janitor
intervention).
