SQL injection attacks primarily target databases by exploiting vulnerabilities in web applications. Attackers manipulate SQL queries to gain unauthorized access to the application's backend database, which may lead to data leakage or destruction. Although SQL injection affects the data stored in databases and not directly files or images on the server, the primary target remains the application layer through which the attack is conducted.

I feel like it could be any of these options, but I remember that SQL injections usually aim for data, so maybe A or C?

I practiced a similar question, and I think the main goal of SQL injection is to access sensitive data, which might point to option C.

I'm not entirely sure, but I remember something about SQL injections affecting web applications directly. Could it be A?

I think SQL injection mainly targets databases, so I would lean towards option B, the Redis database.
