構建包含用戶輸入的 SimpleDB 選擇指令會允許攻擊者查看未經授權的記錄。
Query string injection 漏洞會在以下情況下發生：
1. 數據從一個不可信賴的數據源進入程序。
2. 數據被用于動態地構造 SimpleDB 查詢字符串。
例 1：以下代碼動態地構造并執行了一個 SimpleDB select() 查詢，該查詢可搜索與用戶指定產品類別相匹配的清單。用戶還可以指定對結果進行排序的列。假定在執行此代碼片段之前已正確驗證了應用程序并設置了 customerID 的值。
...
String customerID = getAuthenticatedCustomerID(customerName, customerCredentials);
...
AmazonSimpleDBClient sdbc = new AmazonSimpleDBClient(appAWSCredentials);
String query = "select * from invoices where productCategory = '"
+ productCategory + "' and customerID = '"
+ customerID + "' order by '"
+ sortColumn + "' asc";
SelectResult sdbResult = sdbc.select(new SelectRequest(query));
...
select * from invoices
where productCategory = 'Fax Machines'
and customerID = '12345678'
order by 'price' asc
productCategory 和 price 不包含單引號字符時，才會正確執行這一查詢。但是，如果攻擊者為 productCategory 提供了字符串 "Fax Machines' or productCategory = \""，并為 sortColumn 提供了字符串 "\" order by 'price"，則查詢將變為如下所示：
select * from invoices
where productCategory = 'Fax Machines' or productCategory = "'
and customerID = '12345678'
order by '" order by 'price' asc
select * from invoices
where productCategory = 'Fax Machines'
or productCategory = "' and customerID = '12345678' order by '"
order by 'price' asc
customerID 所要求的 Authentication，并查看與 'Fax Machines' 相匹配的所有客戶清單記錄。
