What Is SQL Injection (SQLi)?
SQL injection (SQLi) is a code injection technique that exploits vulnerabilities in applications that interact with databases. It involves inserting or manipulating SQL queries through input fields, impacting the application's database interactions. This method allows attackers to view or manipulate sensitive data, alter databases, or execute administrative operations on the database.

This exploitation can lead to data breaches, unauthorized data exposure, and sometimes system shutdowns. The injected SQL can bypass authentication, leak data, or compromise data integrity, causing security concerns for affected systems.
