SQL injection (attack) (SQLi)

SQL injection(SQLi) is an attack technique used to exploit security vulnerabilities in SQL databases.

With the SQLi technique, attackers can gain unauthorized access to databases and their data, spy on them, manipulate them and take control of them with injected database commands. The starting points for injecting their own commands are gaps in the user input and its lack of verification.

Attackers can use SQL injection to access data in databases for which they have no authorization, they can change data or the user password in the databases, create commands and bypass authentication.
