2. How Applications Become Vulnerable to SQL Injection? Injection attacks work because, for many applications, the only way to execute a given computation is to dynamically generate code that is in turn run by another system or component. If in the process of generating this code we use untrus...
The SQL injection exploit isn’t malware itself but a method to potentially insert malware into your site’s database or the site itself. If you discover a vulnerability on your website, the next step is to confirm whether malware is present. The best way to do this is by scanning your ...
