SQL Injection (SQLi)

Critical Severity Technical Guide

Vulnerability Description

SQL Injection occurs when untrusted user input is directly concatenated into a SQL query without parameterization, allowing attackers to manipulate database commands, bypass authentication, and extract or modify sensitive records.

Remediation Guide

To resolve this vulnerability, follow these config changes or developer practices:

Always use parameterized queries (prepared statements) or Object-Relational Mappers (ORMs) to separate SQL code from data parameters. Never construct SQL strings dynamically using concatenation.
