SQL Injection

SQL Injection (SQLi) is a code injection attack that exploits vulnerabilities in an application's database queries. By inserting malicious SQL statements into input fields, an attacker can read, modify, or delete database contents, bypass authentication, or even execute operating system commands. It has been a top web vulnerability for over two decades.

Why It Matters

SQL injection can lead to complete database compromise — exposing customer data, financial records, credentials, and other sensitive information. It remains in the OWASP Top 10 (under Injection) because it's still commonly found and devastating when exploited.

How Redsight Helps

Redsight tests for SQL injection across all discovered web applications and APIs, using safe payloads that prove the vulnerability exists without accessing real data.
