Attacking and Defending SQL Injection with Java Spring Boot

SQL injection is a type of security vulnerability that occurs when an attacker can manipulate an application's SQL query by injecting malicious SQL code into user inputs. SQL (Structured Query Language) is used to interact with databases, and SQL injection exploits can occur when user inputs are improperly handled and incorporated into SQL queries without adequate validation or sanitization. This course showcases a vulnerable Java Spring application while also focusing on prevention techniques.
