If any site should be hacked it's the UN. They are the enemies of the USA. Why would you want to help our mortal enemies? Third world Marxists and despots, looking to conquer the world. I guess if they can't even run a website, I have hope for our freedom. Um and your point is?

If any site should be hacked it’s the UN. They are the enemies of the USA.

Why would you want to help our mortal enemies?

Third world Marxists and despots, looking to conquer the world.

I guess if they can’t even run a website, I have hope for our freedom.

It took me no more than a few minutes using a simple perl script to enumerate every column of every table of quite a few of their databases. We know the sql username, server type, hostname etc.I am always harassing our web developers at work over sloppy input validation but they design sites for small web startups.

I'd added the "fix" as a comment to my original post (wasn't at home and hate using the web interface to edit posts but pasting into disqus was easy!) our solutions look functionally the same - I suspect yours is more elegant/reliable (it's been a while since I didn't much development in the real world) ironically I first found (and started following) your site a while ago when trying to explain to some folks in a previous job why security actually mattered... this has gone to prove that they should have listened a bit more at the time!

I wouldn't be surprised that they have to fill in a form and twenty copies and send it to each member of the UN for approval before anything can be changed on the site's code.
