BoostSecurityDB: a new vulnerability scanning tool for online SQL databases
Abstract
The rapid growth of digital information has exposed critical systems—including military, governmental, financial, and healthcare infrastructures—to escalating cyber threats, particularly database breaches. To address this challenge, we propose BoostSecurityDB, an integrated cybersecurity tool designed to detect and mitigate vulnerabilities that compromise database security. Our contribution is to integrate automated scanning technologies such as SQLMap and RapidScan into a unified process. Experimental evaluations demonstrate the effectiveness of BoostSecurityDB in identifying high-risk vulnerabilities, streamlined remediation workflows, and reducing manual analysis overhead. The results highlight its potential as a scalable solution for safeguarding sensitive data against evolving cyberattacks.
