What is an SQL Injection?
A hacker gains access to your site's database by submitting SQL commands via form fields.
Improper coding of the form allows the hacker to query the database from your public facing website and pull information out of our database.
What is vulnerable?
Submittable forms generated by WordPress core files, themes, plugins or custom coded:
1. Contact forms
2. Comment forms
3. Surveys
How can you protect your website?
1. Update plugins and themes as soon as updates become available.
If there is a SQL Injection problem developers make sure to fix it right away.
