You can run the vulnerable app using docker-compose:

mkdir sql-injection
cd sql-injection
curl -o docker-compose.yml https://gitlab.cylab.be/cylab/play/sql-injection/-/raw/main/docker-compose.yml
docker-compose up

After a few seconds, the app will be available at http://127.0.0.1:8000

Local testing

The repository has a docker-compose-dev.yml that you can use to test or contribute:

git clone https://gitlab.cylab.be/cylab/play/sql-injection.git
cd sql-injection
docker-compose -f docker-compose-dev.yml up
