Detect SQL injection with New Relic’s Pixie integration

New Relic's Pixie integration offers a proactive approach to detecting SQL injection attempts in live applications by using a Python script that flags suspicious SQL queries and reports them to New Relic One. The focus is on monitoring rather than blocking such attempts, enabling developers to better understand their code's vulnerabilities. This proof of concept aims to integrate with the open-source Pixie project and eventually extend to other vulnerabilities like cross-site scripting (XSS) and server-side request forgery (SSRF). The long-term goal is to develop an observability-based security product using open-source components, with plans to transition from a rule set approach to machine learning detection. The script leverages New Relic's capabilities to create visualizations of security events, providing both a proactive development tool and ongoing monitoring resource.
