SQL injection attack

FOLLOW ON INSTAGRAM

 SQL injection is a type of web application security vulnerability that allows an attacker to inject malicious SQL code into a web application's database query, thereby gaining unauthorized access to sensitive data or performing actions on the database.


In a SQL injection


, an attacker can use input fields on a web application to send specially crafted SQL statements to the backend database, bypassing any security measures and gaining access to sensitive data. For example, an attacker may enter malicious code into a login form that could allow them to bypass authentication and gain access to sensitive data, such as usernames and passwords.


SQL injection attacks can have serious consequences for a web application and its users, as they can lead to data breaches, data loss, and other security incidents. To prevent SQL injection attacks, web developers can implement best practices such as parameterized queries, input validation, and using prepared statements.
