This blog entry has details for you on how to address SQL injections with Splunk.

You may just want to search for web log events with a standard deviation of greater than the average like len(_raw) with greater than 2.5 Std deviation.

Example using standard deviation here - http://docs.splunk.com/Documentation/Splunk/latest/SearchReference/stats

Hopefully somebody else can help with the cross sight scripting details and if that is possible to determine from within an IIS Log.
