Description#
The code builds SQL queries by concatenating or formatting strings with user input before executing them with JDBC methods. This practice allows attackers to inject malicious SQL, putting your database at risk.
Impact#
If exploited, an attacker could access, modify, or delete sensitive data in your database, bypass authentication, or execute administrative operations. This can lead to data breaches, data loss, or full compromise of the application’s backend.
