Web-Based Vulnerabilities
In the interconnected world of the internet, web-based vulnerabilities serve as gateways for digital intruders. Among these vulnerabilities, two prominent threats stand out: Structured Query Language Injection (SQLI) and Cross-Site Scripting (XSS). These cunning exploits target the fabric of websites and online applications, allowing attackers to manipulate databases through flawed inputs in the case of SQLI or inject malicious scripts into websites with XSS. As we delve into the intricacies of these web-based vulnerabilities, we uncover the unseen dangers that can compromise our digital experiences:
- SQLI: SQLI is a type of cyberattack that occurs when an attacker exploits vulnerabilities in a website or an application’s input fields to manipulate the SQL queries executed on the backend database. These attacks can lead to unauthorized access, data breaches, and even the compromise of an entire system. SQLI works as follows:
- Input fields: Many...
