This signature detects specific characters, typically used in SQL, within an HTTP connection. Because these characters are not normally used in HTTP, this can indicate a SQL or command injection attack. However, it can be a false positive. To reduce False Positives, it is strongly recommended that these signatures only be used to inspect traffic from the Internet to your organization's web servers that use SQL backend databases to generate content and not to inspect traffic going from your organization to the Internet. Some attempts at Cross Site Scripting attacks also trigger this signature.
inTouch is prone to an SQL injection vulnerability. This issue is due to a failure in the application to properly sanitize user-supplied input before using it in an SQL query. Successful exploitation could result in a compromise of the application, disclosure or modification of data, or may permit an attacker to exploit vulnerabilities in the underlying database implementation.
