Question

I am trying to combine the results of xp_cmdshell with a select query.
I have tried union & read about creating a temp table, but as my result will be having only 1 column. To be more precise i need a smaller query to combine the results of xp_cmdshell with select query as am trying to use it in union based sql injection

For example:

Select name from employee
union
exec xp_cmdshell 'whoami'

I know this wont work but somewhat similar would be great 🙂

Create a temp table and do insert into #temp EXEC.. or use OPENROESET. Refer this
