ABSTRACT

The objective of this task is to identify a SQL injection vulnerability in the website
testphp.vulnweb.com. SQL injection is a type of vulnerability that allows an attacker
to inject malicious SQL queries into a web application's database, potentially gaining
unauthorized access to sensitive information or performing unauthorized actions on
the system.
To find this vulnerability, one could start by examining the input fields on the
website, such as search bars or login forms, and attempting to inject SQL commands
into these fields. Another approach could be to analyze the website's source code or
HTTP requests/responses using tools such as Burp Suite or SQLMap.
Once a SQL injection vulnerability is identified, it should be reported to the website
owner or administrator so that they can take appropriate action to fix the issue and
prevent further exploitation. It is important to follow responsible disclosure practices
and avoid using the vulnerability for any malicious purposes.

INTRODUCTION
SQL injection vulnerability is a type of security vulnerability that occurs in web
applications which use SQL (Structured Query Language) to interact with databases.
This vulnerability arises when an attacker is able to inject malicious SQL code into
an application's input fields, which is then executed by the database server.
The malicious SQL code can then be used to gain unauthorized access to sensitive
data, modify or delete data, or even take control of the entire database server. SQL
injection attacks are a common method used by hackers to exploit vulnerable web
applications, and they can have serious consequences for businesses and individuals
alike.
To prevent SQL injection attacks, it is important for developers to implement secure
coding practices and use parameterized queries, input validation and sanitization
techniques. It is also important for organizations to regularly test and scan their
applications for vulnerabilities to ensure they remain protected against these types
of attacks.
