SQL Injection

SQL Injection is an attack where malicious SQL statements are inserted into input fields to manipulate a database query. Successful attacks can allow attackers to read, modify, or delete database content, bypass authentication, or in some cases execute OS commands. It remains one of the most common and severe web vulnerabilities, consistently appearing in the OWASP Top 10. Prevention requires parameterized queries, prepared statements, and input validation.
