Phase 5 · Vulnerabilities & OWASP Top 10

Topics

SQL Injection

Part of the Cybersecurity Roadmap.

Summary

Injecting malicious SQL through unvalidated user input to manipulate a database query — one of the oldest and most damaging web vulnerabilities, still common due to improper input handling.

How to Learn This

  • 1Practice SQL injection in a legal practice lab (like a deliberately vulnerable app).
  • 2Learn why parameterized queries (prepared statements) are the standard fix, not input sanitization alone.
  • 3Understand the range of impact: from data extraction to full database compromise.
