SQL injection is decades old and still one of the most damaging web flaws, because a single vulnerable query can expose your entire database. This is focused SQL injection testing — a deliberate, manual hunt for SQLi across every input, delivered as a component of a full web application penetration test rather than a scanner's guess.
We test every parameter that could reach a query — including headers, cookies and JSON bodies — for error-based, UNION, and blind time-based injection, then safely prove impact with a controlled extraction. Detection is manual and confirmed by exploitation, so you never receive an unverified alert.
Because a confirmed SQLi often means total data compromise, this is a bug class we always verify by hand. An automated tool may raise a flag, but only a controlled proof shows whether the flaw is real and how far it reaches.
What we test
Error-based and UNION-based SQL injection
Blind SQLi (boolean and time-based)
Second-order and stored SQL injection
NoSQL injection (MongoDB and similar)
ORM and stacked-query injection
WAF and input-filter bypass techniques
Common vulnerabilities we uncover
Full database extraction via injection
Authentication bypass through SQLi
Blind and time-based data exfiltration
Second-order injection via stored input
NoSQL injection in modern stacks
Remote code execution via database features
Our methodology
Scoping & rules of engagement. We agree objectives, targets and boundaries for your sql injection testing, so testing is safe, authorized and focused on what matters to your business.
Reconnaissance & mapping. We enumerate the full attack surface in scope, building a complete picture before any exploitation begins.
Manual exploitation. Our senior testers chain vulnerabilities by hand — going far beyond automated scanners — to prove real, demonstrable impact.
Analysis & reporting. Every finding is triaged, risk-rated with CVSS and written up with a copy-paste reproduction and clear remediation.
Remediation support & free retest. We support your team through the fixes and retest the remediated issues to confirm they are genuinely closed.
Tools & techniques
We drive detection manually, using sqlmap only to accelerate confirmed leads under tight control — never as the source of truth. Payloads are tuned to your database engine and any WAF in front of it, and exploitation is bounded to prove impact without touching production data.
This service is a focused part of a full assessment: for whole-application coverage see our web application penetration testing, and for the APIs behind the app, our API penetration testing.
When you need this engagement
Your application takes user input into database queries
You use dynamic SQL or a legacy data layer
A scanner flagged a possible injection you need confirmed
You are hardening before a launch or audit
You need proof of exploitability, not a maybe
What you receive
Confirmed SQL injection findings with evidence
Safe proof-of-concept extraction (no data destroyed)
Affected parameters and payloads documented
Parameterised-query remediation guidance
Attestation letter where required
Complimentary retest after fixes
What’s included in your report
Every sql injection testing engagement concludes with a comprehensive, board-ready report and a working session to walk your team through it. Your report includes:
An executive summary with overall risk posture for non-technical stakeholders
Detailed technical findings, each with a step-by-step, copy-paste reproduction
CVSS v3.1 severity ratings and business-impact context for every issue
Prioritized, actionable remediation guidance your engineers can apply directly
A complimentary retest to confirm fixes and update finding status
A formal attestation letter for customers, auditors and compliance programs
Standards & frameworks
OWASP Top 10 A03: InjectionOWASP WSTGCWE-89NIST SP 800-115
Outcomes you can expect
After your sql injection testing, you will have clear, evidence-based visibility into your real security risk — not a scanner’s guesswork. You will know exactly which weaknesses an attacker could exploit, what the business impact would be, and the precise steps to fix them in priority order. Teams use our findings to close critical gaps, satisfy customer and regulator security requirements, and demonstrate due diligence to their board. With a complimentary retest included, you also get documented proof that the issues are genuinely resolved.
Engagement details & logistics
Every sql injection testing starts with a short, no-obligation scoping call to understand your goals, environment and constraints, followed by a fixed-price proposal and a clear statement of work. Most engagements are delivered fully remotely, with on-site work arranged where it genuinely adds value. Throughout testing we maintain an agreed communication cadence and escalate any critical, high-impact finding to you immediately rather than waiting for the final report. All work is performed under a signed NDA with strict data-handling controls, using safe, non-disruptive techniques and carefully coordinated rules of engagement to protect your production systems. On completion you receive your report and a walkthrough session, followed by a complimentary retest once your fixes are in place. Typical engagements are booked one to three weeks in advance, and urgent or pre-deadline testing can often be accommodated — just ask at hi@agentoffense.com.
Why organizations choose AgentOffense
Our sql injection testing is delivered by senior offensive-security engineers who test the way real attackers do — manually, creatively and with a relentless focus on proving genuine, demonstrable impact. Here is what sets our engagements apart:
Manual, exploit-driven testing that chains vulnerabilities the way a real attacker would, going far beyond what automated scanners can find.
Reproducible proof for every finding, with copy-paste reproduction steps your engineers can follow and independently verify.
Honest severity calibration so you invest in fixing what genuinely matters and avoid wasting effort on false positives and noise.
Clear, business-focused reporting that speaks to engineers and executives alike, tying every issue to real-world impact.
A complimentary retest included, so you get documented proof that your fixes actually close the attack path.
Responsible, collaborative delivery with a named point of contact and secure handling of all data throughout the engagement.

How much does SQL Injection Testing cost?
Every sql injection testing is scoped and priced individually, so you pay for exactly the coverage you need — with no hidden extras. After a short, no-obligation scoping call we send a fixed-price quote, usually within one business day, with clear deliverables, a firm timeline and a complimentary retest included. The price of your sql injection testing depends on the size and complexity of the target and the depth of testing required, so you always know the cost up front before any work begins.
