Site/page/$foo $foo can be 1 hundred million things 1 being something correct everything else is wrong so a user can put in &something=this&that=somethingelse. I am asking because that get pumped right into cake is there anything you should do in general (not inflector::slug) to make sure its safe to use since you cant trust everything coming in. Sure 99% of users will not mess with URLs but that 1 % who decides to change and mess with things. Should you sanitize $foo so its only [az-09-] do you need to? And no not because its a slug but because its safer if you took the & = out of all the url if you know it should not be there. I am asking in general not in a case specifi if it's a slug if not forget I even used that word. Think of any url on your site and think of a evil user typing in something they should not. Now what would you do to protect the site from what they wrote. That's what I am asking. Do you need to check the data in the url (and I do not mean check if it the owner) before you send it to delete / save/ update/ redirect anything. Having the site do something or attempt to do something by messing with the url. Does that make sense or am I just not clear?

Not what I was trying to ask. Not the if owner delete part of the action.just the passing of variables thru url.the actual variable. Cake spits out code link/delete/this_slug what could a user change the "this_slug" variable too that could be harful. What should you check /clean / for the variable its self. I only used the delete as a general example so in any case anytime a variable is passed directly to the controller what should you do if anything to make sure its no code capable of damage / injection / disruption Dave From: Tilen Majerle [mailto:tilen.maje...@gmail.com] Sent: December-11-10 12:08 PM To: cake-php@googlegroups.com Subject: Re: Passing Variable to delete in ur case, i will first check, if given id is id for record from some user, and if is, then delete it, otherwise don't delete it... -- Tilen Majerle http://majerle.eu 2010/12/11 Dave Maharaj <m...@davemaharaj.com> When passing an id / slug thru a url for delete is there any security precautions to add? Example Function delete ($id) { $this->Model->deleteAll(array(Model.id => $id, Model.owner => $this->Auth->user('id'))); } So I pretty much always use deleteAll so its got multiple values of checking rightful owner / permission to delete but I'm more curious about the passing of the actual $id since anyone can pass anything they want as an $id if they want to get smart and mess with your site. So what should you do? Any added precautions? Sanitize:: the slug / id? Thanks, Dave Check out the new CakePHP Questions site http://cakeqs.org and help others with their CakePHP related questions.
