SQL注入漏洞，带有使用串联的准备好的语句

Question

Would parameterized code that uses concatenation in this way have a SQL injection vulnerability? I assume that it would, but I'm not certain what POST data would exploit it.

        foreach ($_POST as $key => $value) {
          $columns .= ($columns == "") ? "" : ", ";
          $columns .= $key;
          $holders .= ($holders == "") ? "" : ", ";
          $holders .= ":".$value;
        }

        $sql = "INSERT INTO request ($columns) VALUES ($holders)";

        $stmt = $this->pdo->prepare($sql);

        foreach($_POST as $key => $value) {
          $field = ":".$key;
          $stmt->bindValue($field, $value);
        }

        $stmt->execute();

Answer 1

You need an array to store all the columns of request table and check if the post key is present in the array.

PHP code:

$request_columns = array('column1','column2');// all the columns of request table

foreach ($_POST as $key => $value) {
    if(in_array($key,$request_columns)){
          $columns .= ($columns == "") ? "" : ", ";
          $columns .= $key;
          $holders .= ($holders == "") ? "" : ", ";
          $holders .= ":".$key;
     }
}

$sql = "INSERT INTO request ($columns) VALUES ($holders)";

$stmt = $this->pdo->prepare($sql);

foreach($_POST as $key => $value) {
  if(in_array($key,$request_columns)){
      $field = ":".$key;
      $stmt->bindValue($field, $value);
   }
}

$stmt->execute();

@KetanYekale is correct that you need to filter $_POST for known column names.

Here's an alternative way of doing it, using some PHP builtin functions.

$request_columns = array('column1','column2');// all the columns of request table

# get a subset of $_POST, only those that have keys matching the known request columns
$post_only_columns = array_intersect_key(
  $_POST,
  array_flip($request_column)
);

# make sure columns are delimited like `name` in case they are SQL reserved words
$columns = implode(array_map(function ($col) { return "`$col`"; }, array_keys($post_only_columns), ', ';

# use ? positional holders, not named holders. it's easier in this case
$holders = implode(array_fill(1, count($post_only_columns), '?'), ', ');

$sql = "INSERT INTO request ($columns) VALUES ($holders)";

$stmt => $this->pdo->prepare($sql);

# no need to bindValue() or use a loop, just pass the values to execute()
$stmt->execute( array_values($post_only_columns) );

PHP has many Array functions that you can use in different scenarios to make your code faster and more concise. You can use these functions to avoid writing some types of foreach looping code.
