It is probably a sql injection problems. The script featuring the "search box" function must control every char the user can enter ! ( ' ` ; --). You must allow only alphabetique char.
There are certainly built-in funtion which perform that on your framework.

I have no idea on programming sql at all, but have read of some of the sql injection techniques on this list. In the search box on the app, by inserting ' followed by a space, the following message is generated: ------------------------------------------------------------------------ -------- Technical Information (for support personnel) Error Type: Microsoft OLE DB Provider for ODBC Drivers (0x80040E14) [Microsoft][ODBC SQL Server Driver][SQL Server]Line 1: Incorrect syntax near ' insert into @promtable select a.ItemCode, a.SysNumber, a.TechDescription, a.InvoiceDescription, a.Classification, a.ProductGrou'. /eshop/search.asp, line 265 Browser Type: Mozilla/4.0 (compatible; MSIE 6.0; Windows NT 5.0) Page: GET /eshop/search.asp?SessionId=PR10006210200315411635Q3TLJ310ELW679PQ7Y&Qui ckSearch=%27+ Time: Wednesday, October 15, 2003, 4:45:30 PM Also, the password for SA is stored in clear text in the site in a text config file. This would not strike me as being sensible. These are both ringing alarm bells ! >From this info, would you assume it would be easy for someone skilled in sql injection to get unauthorised access to the database?.. or is it not that simple? The input seems to be filtered correctly on the logon.asp, as entering these characters has no apparent effect.
