SQL Injection
SQL Injection is a type of cyberattack where malicious SQL code is inserted into input fields of a web application, allowing an attacker to interfere with the queries the application makes to its database.
TECHNICAL DEFINITION
SQL Injection (SQLi) is a code injection vulnerability where an attacker exploits unsanitized user input fields in a web application to insert malicious SQL statements, enabling unauthorized access, data manipulation, or control over the backend relational database management system.
BACKGROUND
The Damn Vulnerable Web Application is a software project that intentionally includes security vulnerabilities and is intended for educational purposes.
