InjectionAttackFilter is a subclass of HttpServletRequestWrapper that will protect against common sql injection and cross-site scripting attacks.
The filter will look at inbound request parameters, and remove any suspicious characters, letting the remaining data through. If someone submits a parameter:
name="<script>alert('hi!');</script>"
your application will see the harmless:
name="scriptalert('hi!');script"
I chose to do this because I generally want to have incomplete data rather than no data. Also, there could be some situation where an end user has a name that triggers the filter. In that case, I'd rather have partial legitimate user data rather than none. Future enhancements will allow you to totally block any parameter that is suspicious.
It's covered under the MIT license.
