Question

Which vulnerability can occur if a programmer does not properly validate user input and allows an attacker to include unintended SQL input that can be passed to a database?

Answer 1

Answer:

SQL injection

Explanation:

SQL injection is a vulnerability in databases that occurs when user input is not properly validated. Hackers are able to input SQL query statements to bypass the use of the actual user name and password to gain access to the account.

Using placeholders in programmed SQL statements mitigates the effects of SQL injection.
