When to Use
Use when the target has any endpoint that interacts with a database — search, filter, sort, login, ID-based lookups, API parameters, or any user input that could be used in a query. SQL injection (including NoSQL injection) remains one of the highest-paying vulnerability classes because it directly threatens data confidentiality, integrity, and availability. Every parameter in GET/POST/JSON/headers/cookies that reaches a backend database is a candidate. Highest-value targets: multi-tenant SaaS platforms, e-commerce/payment systems, search endpoints, analytics subdomains, and third-party plugins.
Crown Jewel Targets
SQL injection remains one of the highest-paying vulnerability classes in bug bounty because it directly threatens data confidentiality, integrity, and availability at scale.
Highest-value targets:
- SaaS platforms with multi-tenant databases — one injection can expose all customer data
- E-commerce/payment systems — PII, card data, transaction records
- Search endpoints — user-controlled input passed directly to queries (e.g., Rockstar Games
/search) - Analytics/tracking subdomains — often built fast, tested less (e.g.,
sctrack.email.[RIDESHARE_CO].cn) - Third-party plugins on enterprise installs — WordPress plugins, CMS extensions running on corporate domains (Uber's Huge IT Video Gallery)
- Internal tooling exposed externally — Apache Airflow, GitHub Enterprise, admin dashboards
- NoSQL backends (MongoDB) — often overlooked, same injection class, different syntax
