SQL injection

Term · Computing and IT · MLC-T-CMP-001156

A code injection technique that exploits vulnerabilities in data-driven applications by inserting malicious SQL statements into an entry field for execution. This allows an attacker to interfere with the queries an application makes to its database. Successful SQL injection can lead to unauthorized data access, modification, or deletion, and can sometimes grant administrative control over the database server.
