How Can SQL Injection Vulnerabilities Be Prevented? SQL Injection is a vulnerability that occurs when a web application trusts the user’s input without properly parameterizing it.

This allows an attacker to submit their own SQL statement to the database. Once the attacker submits a prepared statement, it is possible to read the rest of the query and execute it.
