Which vulnerability type is used to read, write, or erase information from a database?

Show Suggested Answer Hide Answer
Suggested Answer: D

SQL injection is a type of vulnerability that allows an attacker to execute malicious SQL statements on a database server. This can result in reading, writing, or erasing information from the database, as well as bypassing authentication, executing commands, or compromising the server. SQL injection exploits the lack of input validation or output encoding in web applications that interact with databases.Reference:= Cisco Cybersecurity Operations Fundamentals, Module 1: Security Concepts, Lesson 1.3: Common Network Application Operations and Attacks, Topic 1.3.2: Web Application Attacks

I'm leaning towards SQL injection because it specifically targets database queries, but I hope I remember the details correctly!

I feel like buffer overflow could be related, but it usually affects memory rather than databases, right?

I'm a little confused on this question. I know there are different types of web vulnerabilities, but I'm not sure which one is the best fit here. I'll have to think it through carefully.

Okay, let me think this through. SQL injection allows an attacker to execute malicious SQL code, which could give them access to the database. That seems like the most likely answer to me.
