IMPACT FOR THIS VULNERABILITY:

Markdown
Copy
Exposes Sensitive Company Data: Using SQL injection, attackers can retrieve and
alter data, which risks exposing sensitive company data stored on the SQL
server. Compromise Users' Privacy: Depending on the data stored on the SQL
server, an attack can expose private user data, such as credit card numbers.




HOW TO FIX THIS VULNERABILITY:

Markdown

The most effective way to prevent SQL injection attacks is to use parameterized
queries (also known as prepared statements) for all database access. This method
uses two steps to incorporate potentially tainted data into SQL queries: first,
the application specifies the structure of the query, leaving placeholders for
each item of user input; second, the application specifies the contents of each
placeholder. Because the structure of the query has already been defined in the
first step, it is not possible for malformed data in the second step to
interfere with the query structure. Reference: Portswigger.
