Everything About SQL Injection
What is SQL Injection?
SQL Injection is a web vulnerability that lets attackers manipulate database queries. This can lead to unauthorized access, data leaks, or even full control of the system.
Types of SQL Injection
Classic SQLi – Injecting raw SQL commands.
Blind SQLi – No errors, but the response changes.
Time-Based SQLi – Uses response delays to extract data.
Union-Based SQLi – Merges malicious queries with valid ones.
Out-of-Band SQLi – Exfiltrates data through DNS, HTTP, etc.
Potential Impact
Access & dump sensitive data
Bypass login systems
Alter or delete database entries
Full system compromise
Common Entry Points
Login forms
Search inputs
Contact forms
URL query parameters
Defense Strategies Use parameterized queries
Validate & sanitize inputs
Apply least privilege to DB accounts
Monitor logs for anomalies
Perform regular security audits
