Sounds like the managers in question aren't realizing that the problem with sql injection isn't *just* that their data is exposed, but that sql injection *is* code injection. And code can be wrangled to do anything. For example on a ms sql box you could run xp_cmdshell or create activex objects, etc, etc, etc. It's a buffer overflow without the need to find the buffer! Chances are also good that the sa password you uncovered is also a password for some other juicy admin account... ===== Jeff ===== It's a small world, but I wouldn't want to paint it. --Steven Wright
