What is SQL Injection?

SQL Injection is a web security vulnerability that allows attackers to interfere with a website's database queries. Malicious SQL code can be inserted into input fields to retrieve, modify, or delete data.

Prevention Methods:

  • Use prepared statements and parameterized queries.
  • Validate and sanitize all user inputs.
  • Restrict database permissions to the minimum required.
  • Use Web Application Firewalls (WAFs) to block suspicious requests.

SQL Injection attacks can cause severe data breaches if not properly mitigated.
