              All you've got are table names (and for the movie table only) - you can't actually get access. It's dumb and stupid but not a humungous breach

                How? It's server side code being rendered to the client so there's no attack vector there.

                  True - but you've now seen the name of tables, and it's obvious that Stored Procs aren't being used. As soon as you find an input form, the attack surface has been opened up.

                      Rather odd. Go to index.asp and it renders correctly. Someone hasn't set the default pages up correctly in IIS up properly.

                        Not as bad as one I discovered recently: Database connection strings stored in a publicly accessible txt file coupled with request strings being completely unvalidated before being appended to various SQL queries. Had a call from the client one day asking if it was us that created the 'slartibartfast' table. It turned out to be some bloke on the other side of the world having a bit of fun. Reminds me of my favourite XKCD[^].

                            Can people be so dumb? I would not be surprised if they put the FTP credentials of the website as a comment in the index.html under the pretext of ease of maintenance.

                                its in the HTML. Someone should really learn how to comment HTML correctly.

                                      As has already been pointed out... We now know that they use inline SQL, so the first input page you come too makes it ripe to do the injection attack with a 'drop tables' in it.

                                        It's inline server tags, not code behind. And, in fact, their other pages are in classic ASP, not ASP.NET (extension is .asp, not .aspx)
