Definitely SQL injection. The code is trying to dump the user and password data to a file, which is a big no-no. I hope the IDS caught this in time!

I'm pretty sure this is a SQL injection attempt. The query is trying to extract sensitive data and write it to a file on the server, which is not good.

Wow, this looks like a classic SQL injection attack. The code is trying to execute a malicious SQL query to dump the user and password data to a file on the server.
