I am going to be very clear about his today. In the past I posted vulnerabilities in many websites including websites from companies who say they secure web applications, or store web application vulnerabilities and even those who give out certifications like (ISC)2, and I left out those who talk about application security while using insecure software packages to speak about it, because yeah, it's not their fault is it? What does that say about them? Well, for starters it's the same thing like having a police officer committing a crime. It's about time for some introspective analysis for each and everyone in the web application security field before this stuff get's further out of control. No wonder no one takes web application security and it's experts serious, look at the mess around you and your application security vendor who fails to secure himself. So when I see the secure coding group from cert talk about secure coding standards[1] I get really disappointed when they are vulnerable themselves. It's not like we are dealing with a space mission to Mars for example, it's just web application security for fuck sake! something that can be explained to any 5th grader on four sheets of paper.

Judge for yourself, always useful to gain some extra SQL practice in real life:
