CX SQL_Injection @ src/main/webapp/ForgotPassword.jsp [master]

[kmcdon83]

SQL_Injection issue exists @ src/main/webapp/ForgotPassword.jsp in branch master

The application's rs=stmt.executeQuery method executes an SQL query with executeQuery, at line 42 of src\main\webapp\ForgotPassword.jsp. The application constructs this SQL query by embedding an untrusted string into the query without proper sanitization. The concatenated string is submitted to the database, where it is parsed and executed accordingly.
The attacker would be able to inject arbitrary data into the SQL query, by simply altering the user input ""username"", which is read by the rs=stmt.executeQuery method at line 42 of src\main\webapp\ForgotPassword.jsp. This input then flows through the code to the database server, without sanitization.
This may enable an SQL Injection attack.
