Abstract

SQL injection is a critical vulnerability that allows attackers to manipulate database queries. This can lead to unauthorized access, data breaches, and other serious consequences. SQLI affects a variety of industries, including finance and healthcare. Since 2017, SQL injection has been in the Top 10 web security risks on OWASP1. SQLI has the potential to cause significant data loss, financial losses, and reputation damage. It is therefore a paramount concern for organizations of all sizes. Secure coding practices and regular security assessments are essential for mitigating the risk of SQLI attacks. This work of the developed application can be seamlessly integrated into existing web applications, making it an easy way to improve their security posture. The application is a valuable tool for protecting user data and preventing cyberattacks.
