SQL Injection Regex

Regex patterns for detecting common SQL injection attempts in input validation.

(\b(SELECT|INSERT|UPDATE|DELETE|DROP|UNION|ALTER)\b)|(--)|(;\s*$)

0 matches

About this pattern

These patterns detect common SQL injection keywords and patterns: SQL commands (SELECT, INSERT, DROP), comment sequences (--), and statement terminators (;). Important: regex-based detection is a defense-in-depth layer, NOT a primary defense. Always use parameterized queries/prepared statements as your primary SQL injection prevention.

FAQ

Is regex enough to prevent SQL injection?

Absolutely not. Regex is a supplementary detection layer. Your primary defense must be parameterized queries (prepared statements), which make SQL injection structurally impossible regardless of input content.
