Explanation:

SQL injection is a type of attack that exploits a database misconfiguration or a flaw in the application code that interacts with the database. An attacker can inject malicious SQL statements into the user input fields or the URL parameters that are sent to the database server. These statements can then execute unauthorized commands, such as reading, modifying, deleting, or creating data, or even taking over the database server.SQL injection can compromise the confidentiality, integrity, and availability of the data and the system.Reference:CompTIA Security+ Study Guide: Exam SY0-701, 9th Edition, page 2151
