C# and MySQL .NET Connector - Any way of preventing SQL Injection attacks in a generic class?
- by John M
My idea is to create some generic classes for Insert/Update/Select via a C# (3.5) Winforms app talking with a MySQL database via MySQL .NET Connector 6.2.2.
For example:
public void Insert(string strSQL)
{
if (this.OpenConnection() == true)
{
MySqlCommand cmd = new MySqlCommand(strSQL, connection);
cmd.ExecuteNonQuery();
this.CloseConnection();
}
}
Then from anywhere in the program I can run a query with/without user input by just passing a SQL query string.
Reading around on SO is starting to give me the indication that this may lead to SQL injection attacks (for any user-input values). Is there anyway of scrubbing the inputted strSQL or do I need to go and create individual parameterized queries in every method that needs to do a database function?
