Injections testing is a crucial aspect of software security, primarily focusing on identifying vulnerabilities where untrusted input is processed without proper validation. Common types of injection attacks include SQL injection, Cross-Site Scripting (XSS), and Injections Testing Command Injection, which can occur when an attacker manipulates an application’s input fields to execute malicious code or commands. During injections testing, testers simulate attack scenarios by entering crafted inputs designed to exploit weak input handling mechanisms. For example, in SQL injection testing, special characters and commands are used to manipulate database queries. If the application fails to sanitize these inputs properly, the tester may gain unauthorized access to sensitive data or alter the database.
