: Use bind variables (e.g., ? or :1 ) so the input is treated as data, not executable code.
When Oracle tries to parse the resulting string (e.g., <:qbqvq1qqbqq> ), it realizes it is not a valid XML format. It then returns an error message like: LPX-00110: XML parsing failed... at '<:qbqvq1qqbqq>' .
The core of the payload is SELECT UPPER(XMLType(...)) FROM DUAL .
