SQL Injection

SQL Injection is a type of cyber attack in which an attacker inserts malicious SQL code into a vulnerable website or application. The code is then executed by the database, giving the attacker access to sensitive information or allowing them to modify, delete, or steal data. This can be done by exploiting vulnerabilities in the code or by manipulating user input fields, such as login forms or search boxes. SQL Injection attacks can have serious consequences, including data breaches, website defacement, and financial loss. To prevent SQL Injection, developers must carefully sanitize and validate all user input and regularly update their code to fix any known vulnerabilities.
