SQL injection attacks exploit vulnerabilities in web applications by inserting malicious SQL code into input fields, such as a search box. This can cause the server to execute unintended commands, often revealing restricted information.

Man-in-the-Middle (Option A):This intercepts communication but does not involve code injection.

Denial of Service (DoS) (Option B):This aims to disrupt service, not extract information.

Cross-Site Scripting (Option D):Involves injecting malicious scripts to execute in a user ' s browser but does not extract server-side data.
