Azure SQL Security Troubleshooting

Overview

This section outlines key SQL security considerations and potential issues.

Common Issues

Here are some frequently encountered SQL security problems:

• SQL Injection: Unvalidated user input is inserted into SQL queries.
• Privilege Escalation: Exploiting vulnerabilities to gain higher privileges.
• Stored Procedure Attacks: Misconfigured stored procedures can be compromised.
• Data Leakage: Exposure of sensitive data through insecure logging or output.
• Weak Passwords: Using weak credentials or default settings.

Troubleshooting Steps

1. Scan for Vulnerabilities: Use SQLAudit, SQLMap, or similar tools to identify weaknesses.
2. Review Code: Carefully analyze queries and stored procedures for potential errors.
3. Principle of Least Privilege: Grant users only the minimum necessary permissions.
4. Input Validation: Validate all user input to prevent injection.
5. Secure Configuration: Secure database configuration and settings.
6. Regular Audits: Conduct periodic security audits.
