SQL Injection: An Overview
SQL injection is a web application vulnerability that allows an attacker to inject and execute arbitrary SQL statements in a web application. An attacker can leverage this vulnerability to access sensitive information, alter data, or exploit the targeted system. This vulnerability is particularly dangerous because it is difficult to detect and most often exploits are not caught until after an attacker has already made their attack on the database. It has been reported that SQL injection vulnerabilities exist in more than half of all websites.
