SQL injection (SQLi) is a security vulnerability that enables attackers to manipulate SQL code within a web application’s database query, leading to potential consequences for both the application and the underlying database.
The SQL injection vulnerability allows attackers to inject code into SQL queries, giving them unauthorized access to and control over a website’s database.
Attackers can exploit SQL injection by inserting malicious code into input fields or parameters used in dynamic SQL statements, which may result in unauthorized access to the application or database.
Attackers can gain unauthorized access to sensitive information such as user credentials, personal data, or financial details. They can also execute malicious commands, such as modifying or deleting data stored in the database. Web applications are particularly vulnerable to SQL Injection Attack if they do not properly validate and sanitize user input.
