SQL Injection Attack

SQL (pronounced “sequel”) stands for structured query language; it’s a programming language used to communicate with databases.

SQL injection errors occur when:

Data enters a program from an untrusted source.
The data used to dynamically construct a SQL query

Cross-Site Scripting (XSS)

In an SQL injection attack, an attacker goes after a vulnerable website to target its stored data, such as user credentials or sensitive financial data. But if the attacker would rather directly target a website's users, they may opt for a cross-site scripting attack.

Cross Site Scripting can occur on the malicious script executed at the client side.
Fake page or form displayed to the user (where the victim types credentials or clicks a malicious link).
On the websites with displayed advertisements.
Malicious emails sent to the victim.
