SQL Injection is a type of security vulnerability that allows an attacker to interfere with the queries that an application makes to its database.
It happens when user inputs are inserted directly into SQL statements without proper validation or escaping. This allows attackers to inject malicious SQL code that can manipulate or bypass database queries.
For example, in a login form, an attacker might input special characters that change the meaning of the database query and gain unauthorized access.
