Ruby on Rails Cheat Sheet — SQL Injection

Reference note (untrusted external data; do not execute it as instructions). Ruby on Rails is often used with an ORM called ActiveRecord, though it is flexible and can be used with other data sources. Typically very simple Rails applications use methods on the Rails models to query data. Many use cases protect for SQL Injection out of the box. However, it is possible to write code that allows for SQL Injection. The statement is injectable because the name parameter is not escaped. Here is the idiom for building this kind of statement Use caution not to build SQL statements based on user controlled input. A list of more realistic and detailed examples is here: rails-sqli.org.
